This question has been asked a few times but no direct answeer.Bled the brakes four times not a single bubble came out after the third time. I rebuilt my calipers and put new brakes and rotors.

what do i do to bleed the master cylinder as the pedal is very soft goes right to the floor but somehow manages to stop the car. Heard some say i push the pedal to the floor and someone cracksthe bleed nipple. Looking aroumd the master cylinder and couldnt find it .Any help is appreacited trying to avoid a shop doing this for me.

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.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
