    I recently put a seal kit in my rear calipers of my 89 TT and found conflicting ideas on the order of bleeding. Our tech section says:
    Left rear, right front, left front, right rear, ABS actuator front, ABS actuator rear. (see item 7. http://www.pexcom.com.au/z32cms/e107_plugins/content/content.php?content.475).

    And this:
    Left rear, right rear, left front, right front, front ABS actuator, rear ABS actuator. (in the service manual under "braking system" page 5. http://www.300zx-twinturbo.com/cgi-bin/manual.cgi).

    Can anyone clarify for me?

    Rule if thumb is to start furthest from the master cylinder and work your way forward. Follow the procedure from the service manual.

    Thanks all for your replies. I suspect it's one of those thinkings that doesn't make much difference either way. I'll go with the service manual and if that doesn't work, try it the other way.
