Bleeding brakes!! Help!

OK I BOUGHT MY FIRST G35 (USED) IT HAS THE STOCK BREMBO BRAKES, I CHANGED OUT THE PADS ON THE FRONT, BUT NOW MY CAR WONT STOP! LOL I BLED THE BRAKES OUT 4 TIMES AND I STILL HAVE TO PUMP THE PEDAL AT LEAST ONCE SO IT CAN GRAB ON AND STOP. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW I CAN GET ALL THE AIR OUT OF THE BRAKE LINES.
PLS HELP! THANKS FELLAS!

* Carefully monitor brake fluid level at master cylinder during bleeding operation.
* Fill reservoir with new brake fluid "DOT 3". Make sure it is full at all times while bleeding air out of system.
* Place a container under master cylinder to avoid spillage of brake fluid.
* For models with VDC, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect VDC actuator connectors or battery ground cable.

Bleed air in the following order. Right rear brake -> Left front brake -> Left rear brake -> Right front brake

1. Connect a transparent vinyl tube to air bleeder.
2. Fully depress brake pedal several times.
3. With brake pedal depressed, open air bleeder to release air.
4. Close air bleeder.
5. Release brake pedal slowly.
6. Repeat steps 2, through 5, until clear brake fluid comes out of air bleeder.

**Be aware the brembos have 2 bleeders per caliper. Also, make sure to bang the caliper a few timed with a rubber mallet to free any air bubbles which commonly get trapped in the calipers

Use a power bleeder. Makes all the difference.

imo, this is incorrect. you typically should start with the wheel furthest away from the master cylinder and work your way progressively closer: RR, LR, RF, then LF.

Sorry, Velomack is correct.

This comes straight from the service manual:

* Bleed air in the following order. Right rear brake -> Left front brake -> Left rear brake -> Right front brake
