I do it corner by corner, particularly as i have to remove the wheel to make it easier.

Can't do more than 1 wheel at once.

And i do it as a 1 person job so use the little bleeder kit.

If you try all 4 (i guess you could), you would need 4 reservoirs to hold the old fluid.

...and the front ones would be finished before the back so you would be bleeding good oil while waiting for the back to be flushed....wastage.

1 by 1 isn't too hard.

The worst part is removing/replacing the wheels

I bought one of these for bleeding. Have not used it yet but should be quite easy.

I have also heard of someone flushing the system with metho then filling with new fluid but I don't know much about that.

thanks for the info, yeah i did i to day did it one by onegot some new brake pads aswell

i think the bleeder kits are a wast of money(though i never looked

at the price when i was looking a the kit it self) (repco),i went to (BIG W) and bought little fillter kit for fish tanks,which has 3m hose,a little fillter (looking thing) which only allows liquid/air to go one way,an some one an two way taps

works very,very,very well >_< $3.80 ,oh and a coke bottle

relpace the old fluid with new,just want to no, can i drain all the brake fluid out from all for lines in one big go and then just fill it back up with new, or do i have to keep filling as i drain from each individual bleeder

Do it one at a time and dont let the master cylinder run dry (keep filling it) otherwise you will have to start again.

You can do all 4 at once. Just let gravity do the work.

Jack up the car, take off the wheels, open all 4 bleed valves and just let the fluid flow through under gravity. When the master is nearly empty, top it up with the new fluid. Allow to continue bleeding until the new fluid starts to come out the bleed nipples. Then bleed as per usual method.

This will not work as you need pressure to open the proportioning valve to the rear

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
