I just installed all new brake lines with a chase bays booster eliminator, proportioning valve and hydro ebrake. All bled properly, no leaks. Took it for a drive and the brakes are there but it almost feels like the calipers have no balls. Brake pedal is stiff. Any help? Thanks.

Also my hydro ebrake feels eally stiff… like barley any play in it at all, is that normal?
probably because of the absent booster.
when u eliminate the booster its gonna feel harder to stop…
Yes I know but I’m killing the pedal and it barley stops. I’ve looked up reviews on the chase bays mc and they say to bleed it multiple times. I’ve bled it another 4 times today and still no change. I have the proportioning valve in the middle. I did notice when I hit the pedal and pulled the ebrake at the same time it does stop a lot better but no lock up. Not sure what to do
Probably good as its gonna get. hit the gym, maybe that will help a little?

Srs tho, a lot of people modify the brake pedal ratio in order achieve a softer feel with more travel.
What a sh*t show this was. Ended up that even after adjusting the fork at the end of the master that connects to the pedal, when would press the pedal the fork would hit the pedal and it wouldnt allow me to press the pedal down all the way, thus not letting the master to be used 100% only like a 1/4. So thats why the brakes kind of worked. So I screwed around with the fork, couldnt do anything bc it was too short, looked at the old one and it had alot more room. So I welded a fine thread 5/16 nut on the end of the old fork and used that, now it works perfect. Not bashing Chase Bays, the product was well built but was
disappointed at the fork being to small.415 I could have just bought the smaller cylinder for 80$ and made my own adapter plate in the amount of time I spent screwing around trying to find this problem but I bought the cylinder with the plate for a 240sx…also spent the extra 100$ on the product that was suppose to be “bolt-on”…So either I got the one out of a million master kits that Chase Bays screwed up on or I got the 1 in a million 240sx that Nissan screwed up the pedal assembly… I have a picture of the forks if anyone actually cares enough to see lol
