G'day gents,

Ive recently finished upgrading my front brake calipers and rotors to Sutimoto's, Ive been busy at work and i finally got around to doing all thw work and bleeding them,

I have bled all the brakes but i just cant seem to get the air out, pedal goes straight to the ground but actually grips a little if i pump the brake,

im trying to work out what to do for next time i have the time and effort to go into it,

im thinking maybe i might need to upgrade to a R33 master cylinder,

any ideas or pointing out obvious stupidities on part would be appreciated,

cheers

Yeah No worries, i bled them in that order, and bleed nipples are all on top, i'll have a couple bottles of liquid courage and just bleed them again,

good to know about the bmc

cheers guys

speed bleeder one person system, SB1010 M10x1.0 is the size - speedbleeder.com

best way to get all the air out

if you keep going to the floor recheck the tightness of all the brake lines (where they screw in, make sure the line are all done up tight! easy to forget one, i did!!)

I used r32 sutimoto calipers all round on my s1, r32 rear discs, and 324mm 350z track discs with caliper bracket kit from conceptzperformance.com

Cheers tangles those speed bleeders looks awesome im ordering them now hahha, il recheck the tightness of all the lines tonight aswell

cheers

I was talkn to chuckie regarding these the other week when he was showing his braided lines. They are worth it. I need some speed bleeders for my mrs atm. It's that time of the month. lol

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
