You will find very little help here with 300zx problems.

This is primarily a S-30 site and queries usually cease by the 280zx stage!

Of course you could sell your 300 and buy a 240. That would ensure many replies for help.

Lots of Luck

You mean to tell us that you fly a C5...................OMG, we're in trouble now!!! What do you do when the brakes on your C5 are not working correctly? :ermm:

That was kinda harsh I admit................I apollogize. Rememeber however, that the brake system is comprised of a number of components. Troubleshooting is always a process of elimination. If you have a basic understanding of mechanics, purchase a repair manual and start reading! Then get your hands dirty. If you are not confident with doing a repair of a brake system.......take it to a professional! Otherwise you may become a causulty and a canidate for the Darwin Awards.......if you know what I mean?

Again, my apollogy for being too harsh.

hmmm...since you've replaced both front calipers and hoses, i would be left to think that maybe the master cylinder is not releasing completely, leaving the front brakes to drag...
