what paint color is that on your calipers, I am getting new caliper paint and had decided on the Hemi orange pearl color since it is closest to spicy orange I thought, and G2 can't make the tri-color for the actual spicy orange as a caliper paint, so, what's your color and what's the paint code, seems to have match the spicy color pretty well

air pocket in line maybe, just buy a giant bottle of brake fluid, DOT3 i believe, and just keep bleeding it, it usually takes a long time.

I owe you a beer man, that's all it was. I kept messing with it and an hour later I got pedal pressure again! Also changed out my Crank position sensor that has been giving me an occasional P0171.
Left and made it to College Station for the track event tomorrow morning, i'm so excited! I won an Enkei shirt and driving gloves in a raffle as well.
There are over 50 cars here, my favorite is a twin turbo 2011 5.0 Mustang racecar with Bride seats and Forgeline wheels.

or just open the valve, push the pedal down all the way, hold it there, and then close the valve, let up on the pedal and then repeat, at least that is what I did, but it takes 2 people.


also, got my brake dust boot thing on finally, but I have been having a lot of trouble getting the piston back in, used a C clamp and tried to pretty much muscle it in there with a lot of pressure, but it didn't budge, I have moved the pistons back before when screwing around with my brakes but they have always had the brake line attached, instead of the piston being completely out, but everything lined up, I even tried to put the piston back in there without the dust boot and no such luck.. it's really getting frustrating,

my next guess would be to connect the brake line and push some brake fluid back into the caliper and then see if I can then push the piston back in.. any suggestions anyone?

Old brake pad and c clamp should do it, the rears screw back in. Lube the piston with brake fluid if you haven't already. I hope you get it figured out, i'm rebuilding my calipers very soon.

I installed a new headunit, I can now plug my iPhone into it and charge it while listening to music through it :) a 160$ Sony Headunit for only 100$ at best buy (friend works there) :P

ya thanks, I realized that some of it, since it had been locking up due to dust getting in there, is most likely still, some dust in there that I didn't clean out, so luckily I have some brake cleaner from a while back and will just douse everything in that until it is really clean and work it in there

nice, I don't really want to buy $110 caliper paint and have it not show up right again, so it's nice to see the finished product... after looking for it, it wasn't comming up when I typed in the 350z part, so when I left that part out I found a general orange color with the color code Z48 found here http://www.automotivetouchup.com/choosecolor/choosecolor.aspx?year=2004&make=Nissan&model=All%20Models, I'll look around a little more and see if I can't find it, if I don't I might have to go with the hemi orange just since I know the exact match up of color code and finished color look, but let me know if that color code looks familiar, thanks
 
I changed my oil at 10k miles....****. Also rotated my tires to find out i need a alignment bad.
Other than that i refitted my Dg lip.
Very boring.

why did you install a p5 radiator? the stock msp cools better
 
I had a busy weekend....

1. removed my front bumper
2. installed my CXRacing front mount intercooler
3. installed TurboSmart Kompact dual-port BOV
4. installed my jonridinhi cluster surround with AEM boost and AEM wideband.

It's been a long weekend but everything looks great.
