To bench bleed you assemble the master cylinder and fill the reservoir then manually cycle the plunger until the cylinder is full of fluid. While it is certainly effective, it is also pretty messy. I prefer to fit the system complete then use a vacuum bleeder as it is just as fast (or faster) and I don't have to deal with brake fluid spills.

Pretty much what jme said. All your doing is put a hose from the outlet and back into the reservoir.
So put the cylinder in a vice, loop the outlet into the reservoir, fill the reservoir and push the piston using a screw driver until all bubbles are gone.
It can be messy but it doesnt have to be. The messy part is when you undo thd outlet fitting and put the clutch hose fitting in. You will drip a bit there. But otherwise its o.k.

I bought new master and slave cylinders from Patrolapart (genuine nissan) and fitted them this arvo.
Got a mate over to help bleed it with me, used a bottle of fluid and spent an hour and it still has air in it... I think I will try the vacuum bleeder.

Bloody car! Was at it again for hours last night.
I have tried everything from the syringe method, gravity bleeding, pumping the shite out of the clutch while the nipples were open and the old fashioned way.
Get a tiny bit of air through very rarely every now and then doing it the old fashioned way.
I can get the car into gear while the engine is running now but I have very little movement in the clutch pedal until it starts to grab.
Something is still not right.

would re-newing your vacuum hoses help, seems like you've done all you can bleed wise.
Like you said you're missing something

Vacuum is only for assist though so I don't think that would help.
I did find one vacuum leak last night though which I fixed but it did not help me to bleed.
