The 510 Realm

Yea, I was referring, particularly, to the bleeding process. I definitely know that brakes are working best when they're firm with a single press. :D I did have fluid leaking from the wheel cylinder which is how I confirmed that I had cross-threaded it. I do have a good feel that the "pump-up&q...

Byron, using the "Pump-up Method", could it potentially take a while to get the system up to par? When we started it would probably take 15-20 pumps to get any feedback from the brake pedal. After going thru and bleeding all four corners using the pump-up method it would take about 3-5 pum...

Thanks for the responses guys. This gives me the confidence to go and try bleeding again with the MC that I have. The new rear wheel cylinders get in today so I'll replace those before trying again. Byron, thanks for the step-by-step. I really appreciate it. I did get fluid to all for corners in my ...

As for the brakes... I did adjust the brake drums per the manual, so there is a little rub. Do you guys think I should keep on working on the Master that I have? I did buy some new rear wheel cyclinders so I'll be replacing those before I try again. When you guys bleed the MC, do you run a hose from...

Jordan. I'm still running the same springs that Kamodo put on his coilover setup. We'll see how smooth it does or doesn't roll. I'll report back here if I don't die from whip lash first. Yumm. That looks great. Please do let us know how the car drives with the Megan coils. Are you still running the ...

Okay, maybe two...

just a quickie....

So, I've been jacking around with the brakes for a few weeks now. I can't get the system to tighten up. If I pump 10-20 times I can get some pressure, but the brake pedal is spongy and the pressure won't hold. I've bled all four corners all sorts of different ways, finally using the method described...

So is this true? I don't have to "bench bleed" a new 280ZX MC? I have a new 280ZX MC installed, I bled all four corners and all have fluid flowing out just fine but I still don't have proper brake pressure. All I can think is that I need to bench bleed the MC. This MC does have the two ble...

...no more and then. At least not for now.

...and theeeeeeeeeen?

...and theeeeen.

...more juice.

...the meat and potatoes.

Just wondering if you guys think my calculations are right. One thing I do need to know is what the inner diameter of 15" Rota RB's is. I need to make sure they clear the calipers. I certainly have a different set-up and I'm not looking to flare or roll fenders at this point. The only other thi...
