forgive me but I'm going to post a question here that isn't necessarily z31 specific but...
I rebuilt all my calipers and put them on. New brake pads, front rotors turned, new rotors in the back. Bled all the brakes perfectly fine. Once I finish the last caliper (front left?) I realize that none of the calipers have engaged onto the brake pad shims. No bubbles coming out of the bleeder. I thought it might be possible that I put the wrong caliper on the wrong side but from the information I've researched online the calipers are not side specific (seems like a load of crap). Is there a specific orientation the bleeder needs to be in i.e. I put them on the wrong side?
My rears engage with the e-brake so the pistons are not stuck, it did take quite a bit of force to get the front pistons in though. My reservoir is not indicating I am leaking.
