hi guys i recently did an s13 front disc brake upgrade on my 1200 wagon and the pedal pressure always tends to build up and holds. Has anybody had this trouble before? what do i do to fix it?
thanks

Remove the front brake pipe from the master cylinder. Look up in the port, there should be a little black (from memory) valve, remove that and put the front brake pipe back in, bleed the system and away you go.

Its just a little restrictor they put in there to keep slight pressure on the front brake shoes when you apply them. Spring pressure from the drum brakes forces fluid back into the master cylinder. As disc brakes dont have these large springs, only rubber seals it cannot over come the valve hence why your new disc brakes eventually lock on.

Disc brakes are awesome in these little beasts. Good luck with it all, and let us know if you need anymore help.
