Quick question about brake Master Cylinder - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Context:

I got my car painted and rust fixed last november. They had to remove master cylinder. When putting it back, front lines were empty of brake fluid. When trying to get the car back on the platform towing, I depressed brakes noticing no brake response. I managed to bring back my car home with hand brake.

Now, yesterday, I was getting my car ready for this auto-x season and was attempting to bleed my brakes to replace fluid with Motul RBF600. Rear 2 calipers bleed properly, but I experienced problems with front calipers.

Problem:

Both front calipers did not bleed ANY fluid. Pumped the brakes like an *** for 1 hour and did not bleed a drop. Did not bleed either from ABS valve. Fluid never went down in reservoir.

Diagnostic?

Could it be my MC is shot? Proportion valve? What do you guys think?
