wondering if anyone could shed some light on my problem,

remove my calipers for painting as they were looking a little bit faded. sealed them all up perfectly before cleaning / painting.

hooked everything back up but now i cant seem to draw fluid down from the master cylinder down the lines to the calipers....?

tried everything i can think of but nothings working....

can only narrow it down to either that

a) master has some how died over a week of not being used

b) lines are blocked (all four? even though they were fine before hand)

c) im doing something wrong....

is there a special bleeding method like bleeding at the ABS control first or what???

i tried regular bleeding and it would work however the pistons inside the calipers arent moving and its not drawing any fluid.

any help or tips would be muchly appreciated.

jeez i wouldve painted them calipers on the car. . . . sounds like you have an airlock in the lines, does the ABS have bleeder screws on them? if so maybe bleed that first and then the brakes in sequence

Are you opening the bleed nipple while someone pushes the pedal to the floor, closing the bleed nipple and then telling the person pressing the brake pedal to release it?

This ensures when the pedal is lifted that fluid gets drawn out of the resivour rather than air drawn back in from the bleed nipple, make sure the bleed nipple is closed before the brake pedal is lifted.

It can sometimes take a few goes to eventually get the air all out.

One other thing, some bleed nipples can need to be opened a little more than normal, just try to avoid getting any brake fluid over your newly painted calipers.....

When we took our calipers off for painting and the fitting of new seals and braided lines a few weeks ago, it took a bit of time to get the fluid coming out of the calipers bleed nipples.

okay so ive put it down to the master cylinder....

is there a difference between a r33 / r34 master cylinder or can you run either?

If you get a 33 gts-t master from an ABS car they are the same(only has 2 holes not 4) and will be labelled BM44.. if you cant be arsed I have a whole master and booster setup sitting around that I will sell for cheap.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
