**HELP ME** S13 brakes fucked up - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Ok so, i drive an 89 240sx, i have 300zx brakes up front and stock brakes in the rear, recently my 300zx master cylinder started pissing fluid from between the master cylinder and the booster, i bought a new s13 240sx master cylinder and installed it, bled all the calipers until solid stream of brake fluid came out, all was well, drove it around the block, brakes felt squishy and terrible, pulled the car back in, jacked up the rear, pumped the pedal up and cracked the bleeder on the rear left, and nothing comes out, no fluid, no air, no sound, no nothing, took the bleeder screw out, still nothing, nothing came out of either side on the rear and the pedal DID NOT depress, I am completely fucking lost, would someone kindly help me out? thank you in advance

did you bench bleed the master?blockage maybe? did you gravity bleed first? i cracked all the bleeders open and let the fluid drain out by itself. keep an eye on the fluid level.

first, bench bleed your master cylinder first, f you dont know how, google it.

second, after you bench bleed it, install it back onto hour booster, and then cracked open all of your calipers bleeder screw , When u see all of the bleeders dripping fluid, close the bleeder. then have someone pump the pedal and hold it. open the bleeder, it should shoot out bubbles and fluids. repeat them 3 times per caliper. starting from rear right to rear left to right front then left front. your done.

heres the trick, when u open alll the bleeder screw to let it drip, if one caliper doesnt drip, and the rest drip, that brake hose must be clogged, swollen or bulged. u will have to change the brake line.

im on my iphone... so thats all i can help. im a certifed tech for pepboys lol.
