Message point and tube as a way to allow air bubbles to rise (?) which in theory would make bleeding easier. Even though the Nissan engineers know more in their little fingers than I do in my brain, I think the upper bleeding point may be another (minor) example of Nissan 90's over-engineering.

When your look at the 3-way junction box where the bleeding tubes intersect, and the right angles of flow, to me a straight shot made much more sense. My real motivation at the time was the upper bleeding point was hitting the underside of my hood and making a rattle. Bleeding was a breeze after the delete and I never had an issue. All the comments about improved clutch feel in my write up on my Web site were probably my wishful imagination since I had just changed my clutch at the same time. But the part about never having a problem was true. And Inzane lists his occupation as "Professional Engineer" so that beats a blank
