Taste it and find out.

I'm sure it would be given how long the stuff sits in cars for, but also given how much bikes depend on brakes to stop at high speeds and save the rider's life...you might wanna spend $30 on some good stuff?

Make sure the DOT rating on the bottle matches what the brake system is expecting (will be printed on the top of the reservoir lid, but if the foil seal hasn't broken then it hasn't been exposed to air and should be fine to use. If it was me though, I'd buy a fresh bottle, especially considering the price.

Also, have you considered tasting it to verified its quality?

As long as the type is the same...

DOT 3, 4 and 5.1 are increasing quality/grade of glycol-based fluid, they are backwards compatible, but not forwards compatible. eg you can use 3, 4 and 5.1 in a system designed for 3, but not 3 in a system designed for a minimum of 4.

DOT 5 is a silicone base fluid, and should not be mixed with anything else if you plan on protecting the squishy parts of your body.

New housemate has been selected

Hope living with a stranger isn't as bad as Alvin has led us to believe

Alvin lacked style and substance, which is why he had trouble with strange housemates

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
