bleeding the brakes and changing the pads don't have to go together.

When you bleed the brakes you should start with the wheel furthest from the master cylinder and work your way to the closest.

Try that first it will only cost a bottle of fluid.

unless you have thread tape on the nipples you cant bleed them yourself.

you can cheat by putting the worn out ones in pumping the pedal to take up the slack.

then open the bleeder nipple and using a screwdriver push the pad into the caliper by levering the screwdriver

against the disc and the pad wedging it back pushing the pistons in. this will force the excess fluid out of the caliper. rather than pushing the old and posibly air filled fluid up the brake hoses.

omg these brakes are pissing me off, just bleed them 3 times and each time a shit load of air came out, but the was no change to my breaks at all, has my master cylinder shit it self??

started with rear left then right, front left then right and the abs unit, what the hell is wrong

can some please help me out

ok its gotta be my caliper seal im getting the seal kit from nissan for $60

how hard are these to fit?? i also replace the master cyclinder wihich nuthing changed

i read the manual and it didnt look that hard

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
