Do Endless Sss Pads Need Bedding?

I haven't put my pads in yet but when I do am I suppose to bed them in? I'm not sure because on the instructions it says:

This product needs a warm-up drive right after the replacement.

* Since the brake pad does not bite the disc rotor right after changing the brake pad, the braking force is low.

Driving at 45km/h, from 20 to 30  times of usual braking are needed to be done as a warm-up.

Make sure the braking force becomes stronger after the warm-up.

* Avoid hard driving until the driving distance gets more than 40km after replacing the brake pad.

:)

What do you guys reckon?

Bed them in properly. A number of people have put details instructions in english you can understand on here somewhere.

I suggest you don't bed them in with normal driving or by being a wuss. Put it this way, smoke when bedding in is not bad. (later it is)

Yeah the whole purpose of bedding is to get the pads to deposit some resin onto the rotor. To get this happening you need to do some pretty hard repetitive stops (but not over the top). That way you'll get the most from your pads.

What i normally do is brake from high speed, anywhere from 100-160ks/h to around 40, and do that a few times, gets them red hot... then drive for a few mins without using brakes at all, lets them cool down, that usually does it.

no, the japlish instructions are just trying to warn you not to drive out of your driveway, take it up to 150 and expect to be able to stop in a real hurry. They dont reccomend a 'proper' bedding procedure because it probably contravenes road laws. saying that they will need 20 or 30 stops is the next best thing. obviously a much faster way is 2 or 3 nice hard stops like was suggested above. I've used the endless SSS and they are a pretty good pad. certainly at the upper end of what i would use on street. but not really good on track (well not on the GTR anyway). They are a great pad for some spirited road driving though.

      Then today, I went to visit a man with an r33 hat Peter and Road and Race sorted the alignment. As it is being set up for general track/hillclimbs etc it has a heap of caster (7o), less camber than I am used to (1o front and 2o rear, as the caster looks after that in turns without the braking downsides), 3mm front toe out and 0 toe rear. Will see how that goes and track tyre wear to see if it does need more camber, but adjsustment is also limited with nismo arms and adjustable bushes at only 1 end. It does have a bent inner tie rod on the driver's side front but as it came up within spec I'll just leave that as is. So, that is getting close to my chapter of this story....could of tidy ups then a shakedown in early October before it finds a new home.

      So, it went to Unigroup for a run in and tune on Friday, everything went (generally) well. In terms of fixes, the engine was good and there were no leaks. It needed plugs (I hadn't checked them because the coil pack cover was on a new engine and I couldn't imagine they weren't new.....but turns out the temporary plugs to just keep it sealed up were in there.....new plugs gapped to 0.8 and it was fine from there. Also, there was a little preload on the clutch slave which caused some slip. I haven't had the box off so I don't know what the clutch looks like; my guess it is brand new and the pedal had not been adjusted....backed that off a bit and it held fine. Last thing will have Dose crying....the idle especially when cold is a bit difficult between the cams, forward plenum, atmo blow off valve and an 80s air management system. It is fine when hot but a little uneven when cold, will see if I can sort or at least improve that one cold morning. Other than that, tuning went fine. It made 245 but was pulled back to 227 which 2 opportunities to improve in future. 1. The factory CAS is not great and was jumping around at high RPM, so Mark took 2 degrees out up top (that is why it stops making power and lost 20kw). Very safe this way and the extra power is available but will require a more modern ECU and better cam (or even better crank) sensor 2. The 2871 in factory housings is very big for a low mount, and the internal wastegate is too small, so it was creeping from mid range all the way to redline....the duty cycle on the boost controller is turned down a little for safety. That is much harder to fix, it would need a large external gate and that would require a whole bunch of other changes, so it will go as it is for now. It feels nice and healthy and safe, so should be good for about a billion laps like this.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      what sort of caliper are they? If they are a slider and you gave everything a good clean, you might need to regrease the pins. My guess though is they will come good after some abuse as suggested above
