Goodridge SS Brake line Upgrade: Flush/Bleeding Issues

ChrisSlicks · 06-15-2010, 05:16 PM

Replace the lines if they are damaged.

Are you detecting any loss of brake fluid at all? ABS light come on?

No abs light, I checked and my fluid is the same. Maybe Nissan can figure it out, it's just not consistant when I step on the petal.

Sounds like a bad bleed then. Hopefully when properly bled you will be ok.

If the brakes come back after a tap and there is no leak then it could be something else such as pad knock back. Which brake calipers do you have?

The akebono sport package calipers, I'm sure Nissan should be able to bleed them correctly.

So what happened? Was the issue resolved?

Back side bleeders??? Can someone please explain? Is there another location on the same caliper that needs to be bled?

I'm having the same issue...No ABS light...no leaks...no more bubbles. Pedle is almost ok feeling...approx. 20% mushier than stock when it should feel firm as hell. ABS was unplugged during bleed.

There are bleeders on both sides of the sport calipers... have to do both.
