Brake job, now brakes pull the car left

2011 Nismo, actually the optosite happens. When I press the brake really hard, the front left wheel will lock before the right, and the car will tend to rotate slightly

2011 Nismo, actually the optosite happens. When I press the brake really hard, the front left wheel will lock before the right, and the car will tend to rotate slightly left. Light duty breaking does not always reveal the issue.

After bleeding the above connecter I think things have gotten a tad better.

I called some places and searched online, but then I totaly scored a win! I must have the best (alas RedNeck) Pawn Shop in the state just a few miles from my house. They have so many pro mechanics tools its not even funny. I picked up a ($350 - new) brake line pressure tester built by KentMoore model J-39729 for a mear twenty-five bux! What a steal. It looks the the former owner/technitian also modified these also with an on/off bleeder valve. - NICE!

Its a little old/rough, but for accasional usage I think will do just fine. I just finished cleaning it up and re-doing all the NPT fittings with new teflon and air pressure tested them acurate to 125PSI. What do you think? I'm hoping the end fitting will screw into the calipers.
