brakes!!!!!!!!1 fuck fuck fuck

anyone wana help me with my brakes?!?!?!?

i got q45 front brakes...
the brake pedal doesn't move at all.
are the pistons seized?
i wana go to the meet 2morrow
but literally the car doesn't stop. gotta keep it in first gear so it slows down then use the parking brake for emergency.

should i bleed the lines?
some1 told me to take the calipers off and take the pads out n shit and push the brakes til the pistons pop out...

yea maybe z32's.

well i popped a piston out. but theyre dual pistons and the other one isn't moving...

guessing its seized?

help me.
i wana go to the meet 2morrow

Im not an F1 engineer.
BUT, if it was my car, i would say that either that caliper/calipers seized OR your MBC is bad, not because of the new setup but because of old age, wear, or sitting forever.

Whats your car look like now anyway??

sounds like a caliper problem. if all the other brakes are working, its not the BMC. when those go bad, the pedal gets soft and spongy and doesnt push fluid.

either rebuild or replace it.

yea i think they're seized...
cuz the fronts are 2pistons and the drivers side only 1 piston popped out when i pushed the brakes with the caliper unmounted.

and the passanger side...
nothing at all...

wtf do i do now?
i wana go to the meet 2morrow...

i don't even kno what year calipers i have...

douse it with wd40 pound the shit out of it with a hammer. seized caliper no more. =D

I pulled my q calipers and put the stock shit back on w/hawk pads etc.. they were leaking like hell. Do you need a driver or passenger side? My drivers side caliper was still good, and if you come get it you can have it. It is going in the trash otherwise.

My passenger side one leaked enough to fuck up the powdercoat on my wheels.

if you wanna go to the meet just throw your stock brakes back on.

it does sound like you have a frozen caliper, and getting a rebuild kit isnt going to be somethin easy to do with out the right tools,
there will be special tools to pull the case apart, and push the pistons in after they have been removed, your most likely better off gettin a new caliper or both from a parts store, especially if you dont know what year yours is.

they cant be that much, a Z32 caliper at autozone is $50.90 each
the Qs would most likely be less than that

haha... i popped 1 piston out and used a flat head and hammer and put it back in.
are they really that cheap? i hope that have them in stock.

didn't kno a caliper would be that cheap from them.

wow...

dammn.
haha.
well ummm... got every good to goo... mounted them back on...
all brakes work.. but the drivers front will NOT let go of the caliper.
i just bought new calipers.
it's the only one doing it..
any ideas?

clogged hydrolic line or master cylinder isnt retracting all the way back.

check your pedal freeplay/height. make sure it isnt pressing the BMC slightly. that would cause it to hold a little bit of pressure, and not release.

what brakes did you get? if Z32s this doesnt apply...

did you lube the caliper pins good? and if they were used, did you pull them out and clean and relube them?

okay.. just a dumb update... there was nothing wrong with the calipers....

the line was clogged after the new SR was put in...
fuckin shit.

just went thru my old archives and wanted to update shit...
so for anyone with this problem...
check your vac line to the booster..

mine was clogged by the motor.
