Brake Servo

[Gazza14SR]

Got hold of some astra 16v discs, pads & calipers and wondered if i needed to update the servo or not?

cheers

you dont need to,they workalot better with a GTE/GSI servo

[Gazza14SR]

so is the SR servo the same as a gte/gsi? my car is on a H plate if thats any use,

cheers

I know you can fit skyline brakes I have some on mine and they have awesome stopping power. I found the 165 a lot more grippy than 225s as there is more pressure on the road due to the lower surface area.

WTF??

right brake servos, you dont need to uprate it for use with 16v brakes, i didnt on my last nova, but wot it means is u dont have to apply so much pressure when breaking to get the same effect, some wud argue GTE/GSI is better others (Chris T for example) wud say

"ya dont need to uprate the servo like, doing thats for pussys likeeeeeee"

nova brake servos i believe are:

1.0/1.2/1.3/1.4 ALL THE SAME

GTE/SRI/GSI THE ONES YOU CAN UPGRADE TO AS THEY DIFFERENT

my 16v brake are used with the 1.2 servo

The mk2 diesels also had the same servos as GTE/GSi etc. Incase you are scrap yard hunting.
