SO I'm getting ready to replace all my brake rotors and pads... So I thought i'd check them and see what really needs to be replaced.. when I looked at the rears they all look brand new just has a lot of rust... But pads look like they've never been used.. My e brake hasn't worked in for ever and i'm thinking my rears haven't worked in some time... Not sure if the calipers are bad.. or a line is bad. or if its brake booster or master.. Has anyone else had a issue like this... I searched but couldn't find anything thanks for your help guys..

if they ain't shiny they ain't workin! you got something wrong. lots of people have problems bleeding the z31 . you got to bleed everything look in the fsm procedure is outlined there.

jack the car up, spin the rear wheel, and press the brakes and see if it stops.

I have tried to bleed the rear brakes But Only drips come out.. and not alot Maybe one or two after 10 to 15 times of pumping the brakes... My Ebrake doesn't work anymore ether. I've checked my master and brake booster and they're fine and in perfect working order. and I didn't see any cracks or anything in the metal lines. and my other lines look fine too. Its really annoying.. I don't wanna spend alot of money on new calipers if thats not the problem. Maybe i should just take it to a shop and let them deal with it???

Are you trying to bleed the brakes yourself? You can't

Pump the brakes. Keep pressing the brakes when you open the bleeder. It should **** out fluid.

LOL no... ME and my buddy tried it just didn't work.... I do own a shop.... I've never owned one of these cars before Or worked on one. and me and my guys cant figure this thing out. its very annoying. I'm to the point i'm gonna replace everything.

probably the pistons are rusted and frozen.
