I get a hissing sound when I depress my brake pedal past the point where it feels solid.
Does anyone know of a somebody in Sydney that can overhaul an SL/R brake booster?

To my knowledge there isn't anyone that springs to mind thats doing reco stuff in Sydney
We deal with a company in Lismore who does stainless sleeving but they don't reco boosters
You could try one of these 2 places

Make sure you know the part # first before you ring though so your not getting the wrong info
If its not easily readable on the cannister. Located adjacent to the bonnet hinge driver side near where the cannisters screw together.
Then it can be identified like this
Straight rod to pedal part # VH329
Bend rod to pedal part # VH345
These units are both the chunky 7" thick units when measured from master cyl face to firewall
Bent rod to pedal part # VH346
This unit is the Commodore looking one thats around 5.5" thick.
Expect to pay around $215-240 RRP
Hope this helps

I have the larger type SL/R booster.Straight rod to pedal part # VH329
Bend rod to pedal part # VH345
Is it a rod that needs to be renewed?
I thought the hissing sound may be due to some air leaking through a gasket or seal of some sort.

Those 3 part #'s are all for the larger SLR boosters
I didn't include the part #'s of the single diaphragm ones cause you said SLR
They are different boosters.. to change rods is a job that requires the booster to be apart anyway
So best to get yours reco'd so you know it fits back in just as it came out.
Easiest thing to check is that the front seal and the check valve grommet aren't leaking. But these would be heard under the bonnet not in the cabin under application
However if it is an internal fault. i.e split diaphragm of internal seal/valve failure then you need a complete overhaul anyway.
