Rear disc brake issue

The problem is solved!

All along it has felt like air in the lines. Turns out, it was. Apparently I have some misinformation as well. I wasn't there when the solution was discovered, but apparently, the discs were not off a zx (he used my old zx calipers for cores) but off a Maxima. Accoriding to the guy at the private shop, when they were on the Maxima, they were on the leading edge of the the rotor and are now on the trailing edge of the Z (could be opposite but you get the picture). While the bleeder appeared to be at the top, it wasn't quite. The mechanic pulled the calipers off, still attached to the lines, put a block of some sort between the pads, and rotated the caliper and bled out "a couple of big old farts". So now, and I quote, "the pedal is firmer than a groom on his wedding night".

Always loved working on some one elses mix and match conversion stuff:sick:. Thanks for the help and suggestions along the way.
