I just finished installing my R33 brakes and stainless steel lines and the pedal feels mushy. I have already bled the lines three times, and still the feel like crap. I have the master off an auto (the bigger 15/16) and it feels like I have to push it nearly to the bottom before it starts to slow down. Any suggestions?

Um, not really. The earlier Z32 NAs used the 15/16" cylinder too, and it's been proven to be just fine for either front or all four corners with upgraded calipers. I'm betting it's air in lines, bleeders on wrong, calipers upside down, something else. True, another 1-2/16" would help pedal feel slightly, but that's not the problem here.

the NA auto Z32 2+2 set up is the largest at 15/16 so if youre using it, thats not the issue. i would re-bleed them with some good dot5 or start wit hthe most simple shit like making sure everythings on correctly and work your way up to the most complicated shit.

wait someone said that already. so....+2

Thanks, I also read that with the 15/16 should be pretty good for this set up. I will however be purchasing the 300ZX master anyways. Is the bleeder on the R33 calipers supposed to go on the top or bottom?

That's incorrect, the largest Z32 master cylinder is 17/16 (1-1/16)
