Thanks for the reminder. I need to do it because I don't trust my dealer to do it right. Maybe one of these days I'll just rent a lift and get everything done.
How do you know when you've pumped all the old fluid through? That is, how do you know if you've flushed the system?
I bled my brakes once, and just made sure the fluid coming out was clear, roughly ~3 pumps per bleeder.
Some people rotate fluid. Gtr fluid is clear, motul 600 is amber, super blue is blue etc.
I just put clear hose on the bleeders, put them into a bottle, and crack them and let gravity do its thing. Just sit back and watch the reservoir. If keeping the same fluid I think its pretty easy to tell a different shade of old vs new.
How many bottles of DOT 5.1 do I need to perform this service? Does anyone have a link for a good bleeder to buy? Or do local places rent one?
2 pints is probably enough, but I'd suggest getting 3 to be sure. Motive power bleeder (0107) is what you need. Amazon will have one of the cheapest prices.

Thanks. I went with the Motive 0117 kit which looks identical. I got the recommendation from a 370z member. Will I be alright?
what kind of fluid should i get from my local autozone? I didnt see any super blue, will any Dot 4 fluid work? Or should I just try to replace it with the exact same kind infiniti put in?

I've had good results w/ this, should be found at Autone/O'Reillys, et al.

Yes. That's actually the one I meant. The 0117 has a black label and an metal cap rather then the red label and the plastic cap. Not a huge price difference either.
