Im looking to do an HPDE day for a few hours and wanting to replace the factory fluid.

Before I do what I think it is, would like to know if its different than the standard RR, LR, RF, LF

Always start with the caliper furthest from the master cylinder then work your way closer to it. I believe that's the rule for all hydraulic brake systems.

Sometimes brake line length can change from location and where the ABS system is

Maybe its LR, RR, RF, LF 🤷🏽‍♂️

I think with these these modern ABS circuits, its not as important as each wheel is independant to eachother. Even though I alsways do furtherest to shortest in relation to the master cylinder.

I guess you'd have to trace the brake lines under the car to see how they're routed, but the rule applies regardless. Otherwise you'll introduce air into the system between calipers.

According to the shop manual, it's not the standard farthest to closest pattern.
On the Z it's:
Right rear - Left Front - Left Rear - Right Front
I thought it was strange, but just did it last week in preparation for a track day, and all went well.
And the bleeders are 70 in/lbs. (5.833333333333333333333 ft/lbs, LOL)

See attached PDF, I highlighted the part that writes the proper bleeding order:

Shop manual? That doesn't look like official Nissan documentation.😂

Haha, that's because I printed the page, then scanned with my phone and made a PDF with my notes app. Then edited it to highlight that area. 😄

Has nothing to do with air. It’s about replacing old fluid.
