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.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
