Cant tell difference in brake fluid colour, how much per caliper?

I'm going to replace the fluid in the GTR, anyone know roughly how many ml i should pull through each caliper for a flush?

Usually one bottle (500ml) is enough to do it all.  If you are worried get two bottles, it is cheap enough.

For what its worth my brake fluid comes out looking black as night so if it is still the same colour as what you are putting in it shouldnt be such a drama, surely?

lol that's what I thought too....if it's the same colour you may have been able to leave it a bit longer :)

I generally use half a bottle for the first corner (right rear) then the other half of the bottle for the other 3.  The line to the rear is by far the longest

Currently has 280 degree fluid and it goes off a bit at the track (pedal gets deeper and heel/toe becomes tricky), so I bleed some off and the pedal is hard again. Comes out completely clean. I'm going to change to Motul RBF600 (triple the price but 310 degrees) because i dont want to have to bleed it at the track.

      That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
