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...

Well, it doesn't look good for me. I can't get this stupid brake problem sorted out. I'll miss seeing you guys.

It looks like the upper intake plenum will have to come off. I'll tackle this another day...

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...

That's certainly an interesting experience. What were the symptoms of your failed/failing master?

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! :)

Anyone else having a problem accessing this link? http://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/index.html

I'm cutting it close; but, I should be there. My interior however, won't be fully assembled...

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...

Very nice work. What software do you use? Still waiting for an Mk3 by the way... ;)

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...

Nice Devin!

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...
