Hey did a z32 front brake swap with drilled an slotted rotors on my vert today and cannot get brake pressure back after bleeding it. it will build pressure when you pump it but if you start the vehicle, the pedal goes back to no pressure there is no leaks anywhere im at a loss any suggestions?

I would bleed all four brakes and see what happens. Did you have help bleeding your brakes or did you do it yourself. I think when you do it your supposed to close the bleeder valve when you pull the brake pedal back up

Also make sure you put the calipers on the correct sides. Bleeder should be at the top of the caliper.

You do need z32 e-brake assembly. Do you still have 4-lug? If so, you will have to find correct hubs with correct anchor bolts. Search my write up.

I do have five lug hubs already .... i have the rear calipers pads and drilled and slotted rotors already ... so i guess i will have to wait till i can get the rear e brake assembly before i do the rears
