So, what are the options when one packs up - what do you guys do ?
Alternatives ?
New replacements ?

Don't ever change Pete - we love ya ! I'll have it BUT :
that doesn't change the thread - aside from s/h items, what does one do - this WILL become an issue in the coming years as these parts go over the 40 yr 'barrier' !

What you do will depend on the modification level of the car it's on I reckon.
On a standard car you'd replace like for like (if available), but on a car like your's where you've got uprated brakes f and r it would be worth considering a dual pedal box.
Retain servo - differing opinions. Again it will depend on use - road, track or the balance of the mixture. I've not driven an S30 without a servo so can't comment.

Please may we assume for this thread (no upgrades mentioned) that it is to replace the servo with a servo, non-competition use in a standard or slightly modified car for occasional track-day use.
The ARE other options available but I'm talking here about +80% of applications ie like for like.
Thanks.

If I was looking to replace a failed vac servo I'd look at fitting one from another car, but with a twist.....
......I'd want to swap/fit the whole braking system from the doner car, disc's, calipers, servo and master cylinder, so I'd have a complete, proven, matched braking system
IMO of course

Why're you black again ? Run out of 50p pieces again for the meter ?

If you mean me, I've been "black" since my membership expired whenever it was last year......
I misread the title of the topic, i thought you meant brake master cilinders..
I did find it quite a strange question for you to ask though...
