I'm going install my BBK this weekend, the packege didn't include with brake fluid,..so I have to buy it before I start. My friend recommon me to get "Motul" brake fluid, anyone heard about it? I have no idea Which "Motul" fluid to get, they have Motul DOT 5.1 and Motul RBF 600 ,..anyone had any idea?

other question is could I use stock brake fluid for my BBK? This is because my local area doesn't sell any "Motul" brake fluid,..so my friend told me to use stock brake fluid first,..than change it when I recieve(order online) "Motul". If so,..I'll need to go Nissan to buy some brake fluid...

 

I am using Ate Super Blue. Its a DOT 4 fluid and works great with the 14" kit. I track my car hard and have not heated my fluid beyond its capabilities.

Nice thing about ATI Super Blue is that you can also get the same fluid in Orange. So you can tell when you have worked all the old fluid out when you do fluid flushes.

 

yea, i use the same and switch from the orange to blue.

btw skrill, i think i saw your car at technosquare the other day. very niiiiiice setup with the wheels and brake kit

 

Personally I've had good experience with Motul RBF 600 but to each his own. I don't track my car as much as those above.

 

ATE Super Blue in my 14" Stoptech kit. I got an extra liter I could sell ya, haha. I bought 2 liters and didn't use all of the first liter.

 

hey hido7,
I have about 9 bottles of Motul RBF 600 just sittin' in my garage. I won't go through all of them next season so I have a few extra. I'm in Beaverton (home) and Clackamas (work) if you're interested. You'll need about 1 bottle for each pair of brakes or about 3 bottles for a complete flush all around. LMK if you're interested. I could save you a few bucks on shipping at least.

Hido,
First, thanks for the purchase.

Motul RBF600 is a good choice if you plan to ever take your car on a road course. If you are going to stay on the street, Motul 5.1 is a good, economical choice. You can buy it from our authorized resellers, and have it shipped to your door.

Read this article, and learn all about fluid!

I used Motul RBF 600 with my 13" Stoptech BBK

Yes -- got my 350Evo sways put on.

Yes -- the car is now at TS right now. I volunteered my car for two weeks so all us 2005 and 2004.5 owners can get some proper ECU tuning. You can thank me by buying me a beer.

Thanks for the compliments.

 

Cool ... I saw your car at Darin's while getting mine corner balanced ... then again at Techno Square.

 

Interesting Jeff -- I use the Motive Pressure Bleeder (pressurized to 15 psi) and my girlfriend's right foot (in tandem) to bleed my brakes and freshen up the fluid after track weekends. I have never noticed any issue with mushy fluid. In fact, I just did it last weekend and my pedal was rock hard after the process.

 

I you the guy with the white G-coupe w/ Unitech adjustible A-arms?

 

Yes sir ... that was me. I was going to stick around to and have a chat w. ya ... but unfortunately I was on a tight schedule and had to bail.

 

You sure thats the same thing they talk about in the article. I used this on my brake job:

I didn't use the pedal at all. I did each caliper twice and both bleeder screws on each caliper. My pedal feels just like OEM, I just kept filling the brake fluid resevoir and closed the bleeder screw as the fluid was flowing outwards to make sure no air got in.
