Zedrally Posted May 10, 2004 Share #2 Posted May 10, 2004 You will find very little help here with 300zx problems.This is primarily a S-30 site and queries usually cease by the 280zx stage!Of course you could sell your 300 and buy a 240. That would ensure many replies for help.Lots of LuckMOM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240ZX Posted May 10, 2004 Share #3 Posted May 10, 2004 You mean to tell us that you fly a C5...................OMG, we're in trouble now!!! What do you do when the brakes on your C5 are not working correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240ZX Posted May 10, 2004 Share #4 Posted May 10, 2004 That was kinda harsh I admit................I apollogize. Rememeber however, that the brake system is comprised of a number of components. Troubleshooting is always a process of elimination. If you have a basic understanding of mechanics, purchase a repair manual and start reading! Then get your hands dirty. If you are not confident with doing a repair of a brake system.......take it to a professional! Otherwise you may become a causulty and a canidate for the Darwin Awards.......if you know what I mean?Again, my apollogy for being too harsh.

sweetgrrl Posted May 10, 2004 Share #5 Posted May 10, 2004 hmmm...since you've replaced both front calipers and hoses, i would be left to think that maybe the master cylinder is not releasing completely, leaving the front brakes to drag...
