I just did the z32 front brake swap. It has pressure when i turn on the car (http://zilvia.net/f/#) and let it it. I would press the brake several times to ensure that my brakes work. But as soon as my car hits the streets, the pedal drops to the floor. I would have to repump the pedal to get some pressure. Any reason why this happened?

Make sure the bleeder valves are facing up (on the top side of the caliper)
If they are you still got air in the system bleed the crap out of it.

thx guys for the help! yeah the caliper were on the right side because the bleeders are on top. I did install a new bmc. i bled it many times with the same results.. would the abs on my s13 interfere with the new brakes?
