Richard & Matt,
Thanks - that's the way I have it setup atm. I still can't find the
problem - brakes have zero power - infact I jacked up the back took off
the wheels, started up the motor and put it in gear. I just let the
engines idle spin the discs. I jump on the brakes and it doesn't seem to
have much clamping force. I'd expect it to stall the engine straight
away - but i had to really stomp on the brakes to get that to happen.
Bit lost with this problem. I can't find any leaks, fluid is getting to
all calipers as I have bled them all and no air is coming out. I think i'm
going to bleed the brakes with a couple of bottles of fluid just to be
sure.
Are there any other reasons that may cause zero power in the brake system?
The booster has kicked the bucket perhaps? Is there anyway of checking the
booster is working correctly?
cheers,
Adam

I would recommend Nipple up, so air bleeds out first. Nipple down will
leave the air trapped inside while fluid runs out.

Ok - sorry if there was areply to this already, I had a problem with my
email and it's deleted all of the last 3 or 4 days worth of emails :\
I just checked my mastercylinder and it has 7/8 clearly stamped on the
side of it. So i'm guessing maybe a leak? I'm yet to find a leak -
everything seems pretty good and the brakes were bled with zero bubbles
coming out. Also, i'm still a little concerned about the front brakes -
which side is which??? ie nipple up top or bottom - I remember on a
mates 180sx we put on new brakes and forgot which was L and R and ended
up putting them on the wrong sides they didn't work at all but swap them
over and problem solved. Would this be the case with the VL Turbo
calipers too?
cheers,
Adam
