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 haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
