On my 910 wagon (leafs) i needed 4 new shocks for my wof, there arent front aftermarket shocks as i know unless you go s14 with different top hats. but i got brand new gas inserts which are same as original but aren't those crappy oil struts, as for the rears mine are just a eye to eye shock which a...

it builds up a little and falls when i start the engine but i wouldnt say it builds up to a proper pressure because its still quite easy to get it to the floor. the manifold vacuum to the booster is good but havent looked at the check valve

havent adjusted them since when i put the new wheel cylinders in, but i wouldnt have thought they would have changed much since i havent been driving it but i could be very wrong.

i dont have a compressor, but i do have a vacuum bleeder thingy but i dont trust it as much as the normal method. do you think if i just bleed the heck out of the system it will eventually get better than what it is?

my master has no bleed nipples on it unfortunately and neither does the 280zx one i bought. both have a bolt on the side in between the two outlets though if that means anything

Thanks for the offer but i already have one on the way haha, should be here tomorrow. is bench bleeding necessary? or does it just speed up expelling all air from the system?

if you mean bench bleed no i didnt, just put it back on and filled it up again. and it was all bled while the engine was off, cant see any moisture under the cyl or around the brake rod to the firewall

no offense taken lol, i have bled them twice first time around was just a quick normal bleed and make sure the air was out but failing that i re bled and made sure to overkill it and be extra sure i got it all out, was atleast 5-10 bleeds each corner. couldnt see any air. would it make a difference ...

So after i did some research and found out that a 83 280zx master with a bore diameter of 15/16' would work better i decided i would put the original brakes back on so it will be drivable by next week when i get my license back. so i fitted my old brakes and bled them all round and felt happy that i...
