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

Bleed the brakes and then see what happens.

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?

Re: helllppp!!! cant get my 240 to a sudden stop!!!
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. And for your own good buy or download a manual. Search around for a link to download it. Has many interesting information including how to bleed your precious brakes.

Re: helllppp!!! cant get my 240 to a sudden stop!!!
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.
