Alright, I installed a new clutch in my S13 and everything. Now I'm at the part where you have to bleed the clutch system to get pressure back into it. Well did everything as explained and haven't got any pressure. Just the clutch pedal all the way to the floor. Bled the box first and then the slave cylinder. Even went out and bought a new slave cylinder, still not getting any pressure.....am I missing something? I'm lost . Any help will be appreciated.

So it takes a while huh? Everyone I asked from Nissan dealer guys to parts store, guys said it'd be quick. So just have to keeping doing until everything works.

They probably have no clue that box is in there. Tell them to ask an actual technician that works on the car. Whole different story.

yeah, just carefully hand bend the line to meet up with the slave cylinder hose directly. works like a charm takes 5min to bleed. i just wish there was a neater way to bend it.
