S1 Brake Upgrade Questions

[briggsey]

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

Bled them from furthest from Master Cylinder to closest?

eg.

Back left

Back right

Front left

Front right?

are the bleednipples at the top of the caliper or the bottom?

+1. What kidafa said. No need to upgrade bmc unless faulty or track car. Same size as GTR (BM50), but vspec and N1 bmc is an upgrade.

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

the bleeders need to be up top on calipers so you can get all air out
