how are you bleedin the hydro???you pressin the pedal then pull the hydro then close the nipple on the caliper an releasin both then??
you should get good pressure if your doin it that way!!
also wat calipers are you usin??an wat condition are they in??
I started bleeding all 4 corners first.... den 1 back corner and the hand brake....then the same on the other side on back????
maybe im not doing it for long enough.... or in the wrong order???:confused:
calipers standard, condition good,groved discs... new pads!!!
normally start closest to the master cylinder then work away from it to the furtherest away from the master cylinder!Quote:

As for wands not lockin up too easy i think its a fairly common misunderstanding of hydraulic handbakes that people expect em to lock up way too easy! It takes a good yank imo..So does the handbrake :D
Jusy think how hard you have to press the foot pedal to get your brakes to lock...........
What standard handbrake setup do you have??
If you have it skyline z32 style-as in it uses shoes inside the drum on the disc to lock then it should be no problem.
BUT
if you have calipers which have a cable run off them to the hanbrake then they are probably bled right its just those calipers a shit for the hydro.
Reason being is that they have to wind out instead of just sliding straight out,this takes time and thats why pusking the pedal helps as they are pushed hard enough against the discs and the hydro just gives it that quick bit extra to lock em.
Z32/skyline rears is your best bet.
u have to blead the front calipers aswell as far as i know as car brakes work on a diagonal system front left with back right and vice versa
my cousin had the same problem for months and finaly put on a new set of standard calipers and now it works fine
wel lads.....had a go with Evey one of your ideas...not much luck... tomorrow il no for defo if its really working or not??? maybe ya really ave to pull the shit out of them to work??? one thing is for sure there no air in the lines,coz i used a clear pipe...no air bubbles at all!!!! spent a good 15min on each corner .
so an hour, i spent 3 hours b4 i was happy like i said keep at it
3 hours!!:eek:.....your's works well id say!!!:p
hav u still got ur hand brake cables on?if so make sure the both hand brake
leavers a rite back 2 the stops. if so make sure the pipes on the hydro r on the rite wayin an out cause it only works one way.if all them bits r fine. u need calipers.
did you ever get your hydro sorted? mine is gone that way now:o
The method I've always heard on driftworks or trampdrift is as follows (2 ppl needed):
Open nipple
Press brake pedal down full
While still having pedal pressed, pull the hydro fully
Keep both held/pressed, and close nipple
Release hydro,
Release brake pedal
Repeat over and over
The lads bled my hydro so didnt do it myself, they used the above and another method or two and it turned out mint.
I agree....using driftworks hydro and lines and S14 na hubs...used the method above, starting from left rear working forward, 30 mins with 2 of us...worked savage....quick jab and she locks :DQuote:

Sure i snapped the base of my hydro on sat in mondello over pullin it so hard..:eek:
Thats using it all day at that rate..
I used to have to pull the sh*t out of the hydro in my ae86 to get it to lock.
Thought thats just what they are like.
would the type of brake pads your using have much of a difference on how well it works?
bumpio just for lads like myself who was running into the same problem at the weekend
Me and jay bleed each corner of my car for no longer than 30 seconds and the brakes and wand work flawlessly.
I'm in the same boat, haven't a clue wat to do at this stage
Iv a pain in my hole bleeding mine! Have tried a whole load of different ways:mad: If someone promises me they can have it perfect & hard like it was before id pay them...
Martin Ffrench did mine originally..
