well... im having probs with my brakes or brake system or whatevs... i dont really know... but uhhh... its like when i step on my brakes from going 20 mph... i cant get a sudden stop.. and the stopping's weak too, its like i step on it all the way and the car would still be rolling! kinda scary when the car only has like <30 k miles, i dont really wanna eff it up... my friends say its the brake booster but i dont really know what to do so i figured i should ask you guys first... what should i do???

it could be many things, check your fluid level, make sure the hoses are in good condition...it could even be the pistons or whatever, get the car checked out

Bring it to a garage, that's what they are there for, where I work, they'll charge like 50$(CDN) to bleed the brakes, including the fluid.

my brake fluid's ok so there's no leak... but if i press the brakes, i can hear this swiish sound from the inside like something has to do with air. i guess ill try to drive down to the shop cause i found one thats not that far from here but im kinda worried still

You need to bleed your brakes, also does the pedal feel spongy like?

the brake pedal is too easy to press.. no pressure on pressing it

Your Master Cylinder might be done. The seals wear out and let fluid past. Bleed it first, if the problem does not go away then it is most likely the MC.
This was the way thing were in my honda.

IIRC S14s had a Master Cylinder problem. Take it to a Nissan dealer and see if theres a Recall on it.
If not - get a shop to diagnose / fix it.
