Ok, after doing a search (I put brake fluid in, and searched everything in this section) I came up with nothing.

So what brake fluid would be recomended for my car. Nissan cefiro, with a what would seem full R32 brake conversion, on the front DBA4000 slotted rotors with the RB74 pads.

The car gets a bit of a flogging now and then, nothing serious, the plan is to eventually get in to motorkana stuff, and some track days, not to win, just to have fun and 'keep it off the street' so to speek.

PS, if posible Id like the information quick, as the car is going in tomorow to start getting a good fix up.

I shall keep everyone updated on how things go.

PS, the master cyl was also leaking so that is going to get fixed up, should be good! :cheers:

Yes indeed it is the best for track applications, but because of its wet temp rating ie works well when water is absorbed... we change ours often.

Some fluids will work almost as well and you can leave in without the threat of corrosion.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

      Shimmed or shimless, still solid, no hydraulic pump up stuff.
