I usually would use motul 4100 or 8100 or chrono, but repco doesnt stock it anymore, no other place stocks it either, i can get royal purple but its $96 for 5ltrs, i need 7.5ltrs with oil cooler so that starts getting ultra expensive considering i could get motul for $85...

Dot 5.1 brake fluid, can only find repco brand (which they say is penrite but i dont trust generic brands.

Where do people find decent fluids???

Central coast or sydney.

Buy online it seems is the only option and with shipping again its starts getting up there in price... Im used to just buying over the counter... Now i know why i was getting motul oil so cheap at repco, they were getting rid of it...

Ok thks, why do they list motul rbf600 brake fluid as factory line, so if i have braided lines does that mean i can just use motul 5.1 and is rbf600 just if your using std factory rubber hose???

Ok read motul site, 5.1 is specially formulated for abs, i dont have abs, so rbf600 is the go...?

I usually use a litre to flush lines and fill, bleed and top up, is that overkill and should be able to getaway with 500ml to do it. I take all my calipers off and clean, paint and refill all lines like once a year and a bleed and top up after an event...

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
