v6 brakes

[tonydry]

im gona get a v6 brake kit =calipers discs pads do i need to uprate anything else the car is a gsi on 16" alloys

[TRD_NOVA]

hmmm, don't know much about brake kits, but you may need to uprate the pump, or servo, but I don't know for sure. :(

[mikeoxford]

servo if possible to a gte / gsi spec and also maybe think of a cav master cylinder ?

but the gte spec will be fine

[tonydry]

so if i just bang them on ill get away without uprateing anything

[Jules]

You can put 'em on as they are bot like Mike said you'll get more out of them if you fit a GSi servo, also when you put them on you'll need to adjust the U clamp that is pinned to the brake pedal arm, if you need to know how to do this then just ask (When I've had less beer!!!!)
:wink:

erm, is it just me, or did u say calipers, disks and pads from a v6 onto a nova?

erm, didnt v6 everythings have 5 stud, unlike nova 4 stud, therfore u will need 2 get the disks machined to 4 holes instead of 5?

my 2p

I think it was NovaX's car. The hoses were too long and rubbing on the inside of the wheels I think. Theres a post somewhere telling you all about it.

[Dicko]

unless your just after something to fill the space behind your big allos your far better off geting 16v callipers then getting a good set of pads+discs

[Mark D]
