replace the MC. Thats your problem.

if it was the booster, there would be no change when the car is on because there would be no vacuum and it would be as if the car was off.

I'm guessing no ABS right? cause that makes it a bit more complicated.

Unless you can see brake fluid shooting out from the lines (check every inch for leaks while someone pushes the pedal) or fluid shooting out from the calipers, it's the MC.

I've had mc's that were fine one day and then boom, they blow a seal and no good.

NEVER assume a part is good EVER, I don't care whether it came off a working car, or is brand new out of the box. ALWAYS check everything.


change the mc

Well im sourcing a different mc and have new rotors and pads coming in. Also the brake light would come on even though the fluid level was topped off.

If this doesnt work the car will be up for sale in pieces

well messed around with it a little today(im not driving it this winter and snow is already here) so I'm not going nuts over this.

The pistons on the calipers slide like butter
Now with the car off I hear a vacuum sound and the pedal doesnt get hard at all.

I'm at a complete loss and if anyone wants to come help me out that would be appreciated or its going to a mechanic because I hate brake crap.

im about to burn it to the ground is what im going to do.

I'm just going to let it sit for the winter haha and maybe it will magically work.
I have another nx setup that I will be using and will probably have to get an upgraded mc for ****s and giggles. I did this to myself so it is what it is and will figure out another problem that will teach me something along the way.
