hey guys i just bought my first 240sx it's a 1991..and i bought it knowing the brakes did not work.im just trying to figure out what the issue is. it has no pedal feel when the car is on or off and when you pump them it doesn't get any pressure at all.

im thinking maybe a master cylinder but im not sure.

if you have some ideas that would be great.

make sure any air in the system is 100% bled out, and then have someone look while you pump the brakes for leaks (lines and calipers).... if no leaks and system is bled it is most likely the master....

keep in mind these cars are old, so rebuilding or replacing calipers and master cylinders is recomended... (good time for an upgrade)
