Finally got fluid today. Followed the reservoir swap method that Fountainhead posted (huge thanks for that btw). Filled up about half a solo up of black fluid. And it started building pressure again.

Took it for a 10 mile or so drive and pressure bleed off. Got it home and reservoir was black again. Flushed and pumped again and it seems good. Might be a long process, but I think the CMC is in good shape. If it doesn't clear up soon, I'll go ahead and do a full flush.

god we must have the master and slave cylinder from a damn hugo. talk about severe inconsistency in quality control throughout the whole car. from top of the line to ebay second hand garbage all bolted together seemingly at random.

replacing that piece of 5hit as soon as I have the funds before it does damage somehow or leave me stranded. then leave the oem parts in a burning bag on nissans doorstep.
