New Brake Bleed Order ?

40 to 332

I was informed a number of years ago (… and this may not apply to the 370Z) that the brake system is comprised of two separate sets of lines, with the front and rear lines configured to be diagonally independent … so if there is a failure in one set of lines, you will still have braking power (… albeit reduced) both front and back. So the idea is to bleed one set of lines completely … either RR and FL or RL and FR), beginning with the longer rear line, and then turn to the diagonally opposite set of lines, again beginning with the rear line.

This no longer applies to any modern car. All cars 2012 and after are mandated to have stability control, which means they need a 4 channel ABS system to control each corner independently. A 4 channel ABS system means there is a hydraulic brake line from each caliper to the ABS pump. Most cars had a 4 channel ABS by the mid 2000's and all 370z have had it.

Interesting. My post was based on a 1986 Honda Accord ... long before 4-channel ABS systems. I've just kept following that bleeding order since; however, it appears that you may be able to bleed in any order. Not sure why Nissan specifies the bleeding order listed in the FSM.
