Default Need help asap finding ATE brake fluid

I know it is a little late, but I am taking the Z to the track tomorrow and realize that I need to swap my brake fluid for ATE super blue/200. I can't find any national chains or a racing shop that carries this yet. I found it online, but that does not get it in my hands today. Does anyone know who might carry this that is a national chain? Also, how much do I need to buy in order to replace the current fluid? Thanks.

Well, I found one last can at a motorsports shop. I hope 1 liter is all that is needed. Anyone with a maintenance manual care to post the procedure for swapping the fluid? Don't know if that is DIY.

Default brake fluid chg

Start with the RF then LR then RR then LF.
Have a person pump the brakes and hold, then you open bleeder valve and release fluid. tighten bleeder valve and have the person pump and hold pedal. Keep doing this for each wheel until blue fluid appears. Make sure that you keep adding new fluid to the master cylinder. not to hard but you need a 1/4"dia tube about 12" long and 2 wrenchs (10mm and 5/16) YOu need to jack the car up and remove all 4 wheels.

Good Luck and have fun!!!

Someone posted a portion of the service manual that listed the bleed order as, LR (drivers rear), RF, RR, LF. Hope that helps.
