I did searches, and was wondering if anyone has any tips to changing master cylinder on 2000 z with acs & tcs. Would I be better off taking it to a dealer? Can I do it myself? IS there any way to bleed without tech 2? If I can do it myself how would be the best way to go about it?

P.S. brake bleed seems to be regular question might make a good sticky

No worries. I change the master cylinder on mine without a problem. Just bench bleed the master, then toss it on. In all theory, air bubbles will either travel back up through the master if you let it sit long enough, OR they can actually travel down through the ABS unit and out a bleeder valve without a problem. It's only when the reservoir inside the ABS unit starts draining that you'll have a problem occur.
