Default To hell with the 350z non brembo brakes!

I tried everything I can think of and what you guys told me. I cant get my brakes back. No leaks or nothing like that wrong. I got air somewheres and it wont come out. I got the trapped air bubbles out of the rear calipers but none in the front. Bled this system with 4 1/2 bottles of brake fluid. Man am I frustrated to holy hell right now. What now?? I cant afford to bring it to the shop!

Are you using a brake bleeder that uses suction?

you have a Z but can't afford to take it to the shop???? That's a pretty dangerous financial spot to be in. Screw the brakes and sell that thing before you dig a hole you can't get out of without bankruptcy.

A shop will use a air powered bleeder to suck out the air.

Purchase a Mity Vac and never look back. Those things are the best for brakes, clutches it will get that air out for you within minutes

It sounds like you might have some air bubbles trapped in the ABS distribution block or pump. You should take it to the dealer and have them vacuum bleed it for you, that should take care of it.

You are in over your head. Brakes are not something to guess about. Take it in to the shop. Please.
