Ok

so i have a problem

Basically, my master and slave cylinder arent doing anything

i cant pull fluid from the bottom with a speed bleeder, but none of the lines are clogged (ran air through everything)

and broke apart the master cylinder to check for bad seals etc etc

im ordering a rebuild kit anyways

Im using an r33 gt25t slave and master,

but i also tried a 260rs master as well.

i have elimnated the loop and its straight from the master to the slave.

any ideas?

pedal isnt kinked either.

we tried for 5 hours today

beside, if you take the bleed screw off the side, it should damn near pour out, and it wasnt

also i have no speedo or tach.....but thats another problem for another day

well after about 2 hours

we removed it, pumped it, stuff barely came out

so we broke it apart to see if there was a clogg, or bad orings, and after we put it back together, the fluid came out liek it was supposed to....but put it back on teh car, and nothing

the thing in the middle that i take off all my cars with that big loop

no....

i never install it

But we DID try it with that installed first, but to cut down on fluid having to pressurize fr bleeding, we took it out of the loop.

I found you have to open the bleed nipples a fair way aswell, to get good flow.

we took them all the way out also

as well as taking off the main line going from the master cylinder and putting hte speed bleeder(its an air assisted bleeding tool) and it still didnt work.

and as i said, i blew through the lines, adn there was no restriction....its reallllly odd

i would suggest that you have an air bubble in the top of the system somewhere when it is installed and no matter how much fluid you pump through there it will not escape unless you can find a way to get it so that the bleed nipple is the highest point of the system.

i have had the same problem with several of my italian bikes in the past and it seems to be the only way we could get the rear brakes to work on them at all, and we had to do this by removing the brake caliper from the swing arm and tipping it upside down so the nipple was above the centre line of the master cylinder.

hope this helps in some way?

cheers oxford

Sounds like a master cyl problem. I read here somewhere that the seals turn inside out

sometimes for no apparent reason.

i was thinking that, thats why i am going to get a rebuild kit.

im just trying to make suyre that im not missing something simple stupid

as far as getting ht ebleed point as high as possible, the one on the side of the master cylinder is as high as it gets, and nothing was comming out.q

sorry meant to also suggest removing the caliper/s from the mounts and getting them as high as possible too while pumping the pedal with a block between the pads so your pistons don't overtravel and come out, as there may be a spot that is holding air in the caliper?

if you work on an airbase there should be a nice steep load ramp or somethin you maybe able to use so that the front of the car is at the highest point then chock wheels securely, and remove calipers from mount and get them as high as you can and forward of the master cylinder if possible up ramp, pump fluid through manually until you have some thing like pedal feel, then start car and continue process, as the brakes are vacuum assisted they sometimes won't bleed properly until there is vacuum in the system.

good luck

cheers oxford

fill the master 1/2 way or so and put the compressor onto the top of it and blow it through so it starts feeding to the slave. or u can take the master out and fill it with oil when it is disassembled so its not full of air behind the piston.

mine had same issue and the compressed air sorted it str8 away :bunny:

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
