Engine off when bleeding.

Someone pushes the pedal, someone else cracks the bleed nipple open, leaves it open till the pedal hits the floor, close the nipple, lift the pedal.

Check your ABS which also should have bleed nipples.

Got sick of the soft pedal feel so got a bit innovative. Made a pressure bleeder. Initially it was a fitting to a spare lid.The seal wasn't right enough so fluid spilt out. So ended up making a chain pressed perspex with rubber to seal. This worked a treat managed to pump the system to 13 psi and cracked all this zero bubble came out.

Before this I took out the two lines that go to the ABS unit and got an assistant to depress the pedal to squirt fluid then stuck my fingers to block the holes then got the assistant to release. This was done about four times. My pedal was still soft.Then my old man told me to find a secluded area where I could lock up the brakes once or twice.This worked a treat as there was air in the ABS unit.

Proper way to do it is to use the consult. But Nissan will charge me $300+ for that.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
