anyone tried this? I think it's the same thing as speed-bleeders, which I've heard work well. Make it alot easier to do for not much money if they do work...

thanks for that. My main concern was how would you know when all air is out if you can't see it? Would prefer the 2 person method so I can see what's coming out but my better half is away at moment.

you cant really tell when all the air is bled out, as ud probably kno u have to lock em up so they hold pressure it just makes it easier being able to pump the pedal without having to lock and unliock the bleed nipple. but u still have to check the pedal feel every now so often

Look for a vacuum style bleeder? The Snap-On one of mine came as a kit with a reservoir and bleeder. You attache the 1/2 litre reservoir to the master cylinder and it drains itself as the fluid level drops. The other end attaches to the bleed nipple, runs off an air line, crack the bleeder with it attached and turned on and it sucks the fluid out and lets you see it coming out.

Admittedly, have had trouble on the RARE occasion where the brakes haven't bled properly and had to manually 2-man bleed them. Or when the rubber elbow isn't sitting properly on the nipple and looks like there's air coming out still when there isn't...

piece of piss doing it by yourself! i did it recently as I upgraded to braided brake lines. it takes quite a few pumps of the brake pedal to fully empty the master cylinder anyway. I normally do about 8-10 pumps of the pedal then top up the resevoir and then check to see how full the little container is. one of those magnetic containers would make it so much easier though, rather than trying to balance the container on top of the wheel lol. one tip incase you weren't aware... make sure the container catching the fluid is always sitting above the bleed nipple so its actually pushing the air out.

hell I just use a clear hose thats the right size to fit the nipple snug & long enough to go from the nipple over the top arm into a glass bottle, no one way valves or special tools needed..

simple, works and is cheap, think it cost me $2.50 never spilt a drop of fluid and always do bleeding by myself, actually I do all the work on my cars by myself, my friends arnt that into cars...

    • 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

    • 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
