Brake Servo Question

Recommended Posts

Posted this first in the 240Z, 260Z, 280Z forum but don't know how to move - apologies if I've messed things up but I'm a relative newbie.

 

I'm doing the RB25DET in a 260Z conversion and wondered whether the Skyline brake servo will fit OK. I have an old 260Z servo but not sure how well it operates, also have a good Skyline servo with master cylinder. They are both approx. 7.5" diameter and the linkage lengths are approx. the same. Will need to change the bolt holes positions and widen out the bulkhead aperture but apart from that are there any other issues / reasons why I can't ? Has anyone tried this ?

 

Also, any problems using the 260Z clutch master cylinder with the RB25DET slave unit ? Do I need to use the Skyline cylinder to make the standard clutch operate correctly ?

 

Thanks guys.

Not sure about the brake booster and master cyl, but the stock clutch master cyl will work fine with the RB25DET slave.

Thanks Synthtk. Thought so as they look similar in size but just wanted to check. I think that the brake booster and cylinder should also be OK - in fact the 260Z cylinder looks a bit bigger than the Skyline one ! Amazing how little these units have changed over 30 years !
