PRF --
Dry boiling point: 617°F / 325°C
Wet boiling point: 399°F / 204°C
MSRP: US$29.99/500mL (16.9 oz.)

Also, your AP 600 specs are slightly out of date. They should read:

AP600 --
Dry boiling point: 594°F / 312°C
Wet boiling point: 399°F / 204°C
MSRP: US$22.95/500mL (16.9 oz.)


And, for street and occasional track day use, there is the AP Racing Formula 5.1 --
Dry boiling point: 516°F / 269°C
Wet boiling point: 369°F / 187°C
MSRP: US$12.75/500mL (16.9 oz.)

This is awesome information. Another comparison that should be added is where does the Nissan OEM brake fluid fit into this chart - Performance / Cost?

The stock fluid probably rates pretty low. Nissan does sell a high temp fluid marketed at the GT-R, no idea on price. However I seriously doubt that Nissan manufactures the fluid, likely bought from another manufacturer wholesale and packaged.
