I just done my Z32 brake swap on my S13 ( front only ), and even if I bleed my system until no more air comes out, I'm still able to push the pedal all the way down.. Can it be cause by the fact that I run the stock master cylinder? or anything else ?

that's probably it. your master cylinder is not displacing enough volume of fluid to effectively move the caliper pistons. you probably want a 1 inch bmc or a bm50

make sure the bleeder screws are faceing UP!
If they are facing down swapp the calipiers
Im running the Stock Master Cylinder also with my Skyline Calipiers they stop fine

when u installed the calipers, are the bleeders more at the front or the rear? I installed mine a couple days ago and made the mistake of putting the calipers on the wrong side. if the bleeders are pointing at the front switch the calipers and re-bleed. hope this helps.

Yeah, having the stock MC just changes the bias, doesn't change how the pedal feels. Bleeders are probably on the bottom, or you didn't bleed correctly.

dude had the same problem
a month ago
like everyone
its your calipers..
i garenttee you have them on the wrong side..and since the valves are aimed down..no matter what you do. you cant get all the air out..lol
and check out BMC, look on the booster to see if you have any visible leakage.. or somthing
i had to get a new BMC after changing out my breaks.. and like i said i had the calipers upside down also...flipped them around. and WOW amazing difference lol
hope it helps
