hmmm flushing fluid - i was askin about that but everyone just said "yeh flush the old stuff out with the new"
If u got gunsons easy bleed like me then i think u can just leave the bottle empty and the air pressure will blast out all the old fluid when you open each bleed. :)

I just bought some AP Dot 5.1, and the guy said you can't mix it with Dot 4, I'm a bit concerned/confused how I'm supposed to get it all out and replace it.

Braided hoses for rear calipers on S13. Im just waiting for some Goodridge hose kits to arrive, theyll be around £25 the pair
Silicone brake fluid. Cant help
Flushing fluid for cleaning out old brake fluid from system. Id just use cheap brake fluid
Some decent rear pads for S13. EBC dont do Greenstuff and Ferodo dont do DS2000s :(
Foliatec caliper paint - red. Enough for four calipers. Dont do it, too small for mail order

Sorry, Im not much use to you here!!

Methylated spirit is the best thing to flush the system, but it has to be meths as it doesn't harm the rubber.
It's also cheaper than even cheap brake fluid.

How do you get the meths out, other than get the local wino to suck it?
