Regarding the "pedal retention" test I performed, it is on page BR-6 of the TSRM.
The only time the bleeders were completely removed by me (don't know about the P.O.) were to use Teflon tape on the threads when all this started happening. I didn't think to inspect the seat(s).
I did not use...
I have not yet changed the Brake Booster.
No need for a JZ just yet! :)
I'll swap in the one from my 87.
It's amazing how something as simple as bleeding brakes can cause SO MUCH GRIEF!!!!!
Yes sir. :)
Pedal adjustments confirmed with the TSRM.
Engine off with 6 pedal presses = a very firm pedal and when held the 6th time, it holds and does not bleed off.
Engine on = pedal hits the floor. 5-6 pumps the pedal firms slightly; but, will sink to the floor if held.
The...
metaphysico: Thanks for the links and the anatomy lesson. Great stuff! :)
Poodles: If the pedal is pressed slowly, it just bleeds off and the pedal hits the floor. Car running, instant floor.

I am going to take the master off my 87 and also go pick up a vacuum bleeder and see what that gets me.
So far, two masters, two brake booster valves, and 2.2 gallons of brake fluid. Still no consistent pressure…
At this point, I am open to any and all experiences and ideas.
We have a...
Yep, the brake master cylinder. And no, it's not from the dealership.
Since I can hear the pressure bleeding off, and after a suggestion from a buddy, I changed the valve above the brake booster and I still have the bleed off...
That was my thought too. I have gione through 4 quarts of brake fluid bleeding this thing. I just installed a new master cylinder and got the same results.
There are no apparent vac leaks at idle via my boost gauge.
Ok. I feel a little inept posting this; but, there ARE no stupid questions. Right!? ;)
I am having trouble getting consistent pressure in the brake pedal during the bleeding process. Pressure is intermittent.
When there is little pressure at the pedal, a hissing noise is heard through...
Thanks! :)

Ok. I drove the car yesterday and found out the hard way that I didn't have any brakes! The pedal would only intermittently firm up. A new master cylinder will be here...
Ok...everything is done; but, before I get in to that, I have another "wheel" experience! Some of you know what I went through when I purchased my new wheels about eight months ago. It took them a total of eight wheels before I got a set undamaged. That caused me to take my business...
Ok. Got a little work done this evening after being up for 28 hours straight. I'm headed off to bed just after I post this... :)
I trimmed the Meth Nozzle bung and installed the 3k pipe for a test fit of the nozzle and the meth line to make sure there aren't any clearance issues.
I like its...
Ron: Now that parts are starting to roll in.....a week at the most.

I got some of my welded parts back today.
First up is my newly designed downpipe. The megamouth is huge and necks down to 4". I...
