Bedding In Rear Pads?

Hey guys

I am about to put on a set of Comp 2 rear pads on my 32gtst, and was wondering if the bedding procedure is still the same as if i was bedding in the front pads. I have RB74's on the front which are already bedded in, so is it a case of me performing the same procedure that i used to bed the rb74's for the comp 2's?

Cheers

Simon

Since the rears only absorb around 20-30% of the braking pressure when the car brakes, IMO you should just brake gently for the first 15-20 KMs and after that they should be fine to give "some."

I tend to agree. Brake gently for the first couple of days, just so that the pad beds to the shape of the disc, and doesn't create hot spots on the pad. Obviously machining the discs also helps to prevent this.

After that give it all you want! The first time you heat them up substantially you'll bed them anyway...

Bedding has never really been a problem for me, as I run Lucas in both my road and rally cars, but provided you don't go out and do handbrakies first spin out in a car with an integrated handbrake, then your rears will very rarely ever give you grief! :cool:

the best way to bed in pads is to drive normaly for about a week.

them you need to "fade" them so going from some spasrtic speed. jump on the anchors. what you need to do is basicly make them fade.

this bonds the material together and will give you a much longer pad life.

this is how ve used to bed the pads in on the v8 supercar.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
