Endless Brake Callipers - Info Wanted

Some questions about the Endless brake callipers:

1. Is any one out there running them - if so do you have any comments?

2. Are any of the Endless range of brake pads any good?

More particularly I would like to ask for their "inch up" 343x32 rotor + 6 pot calliper does anyone know:

1. What pad size is it?

2. Can you get other than Endless pads - particularly the Ferodo DS2500 or equivalent?

3. How much piston area do the callipers have?

It is too bloody hard finding information on callipers most days. :rofl:

im currently running endless disc and pads in my ap's. not sure what type they are but they are awsome and pull the car up really well but i have not used any other pad in my ap's so i have nothing to compare it too.

i saw an add. in my option 2 mag about the endless, i go dig it up and see if its got any information for you ;)

DJ...judt buy them. The prioce that kit is going for you cant lose. BD4s in Sydney use to run them on their GTRs, and whislt the cars never say that much track work in anger...they cannot be a bad thing based on the fact that most HKS demo cars run them

Yes they are good value for money. But my principal concern is getting some good pads to go with them. I finally found some Brembo rears & there was a set of Endless pads in them. They look for all the world to be nasty old school metallic type pads.

the 6 pot calliper looks to have a 152mm long pad. But that is just scaling the photo, so I don't know.

Just give Centrax Auto a call on 07 3349 7888, they are Endless brake distributor in Australia.

I run 6 pot 355 front 4 pot 330 rear. they are fantastic

Endless brake pads on one of the top pads, especially the race compound, the pads are superb.

Well I have heard good things, but.....I have two issues (OK, I have more issues htan the Readers Digest, but I digress).

1. The quoted friction coefficients are low - in the 0.35 - 0.4 range. Compared with the 0.5 I have on the DS2500's it looks horrible & low.

2. I need the pads to be useable on the road (ie work from cold & not squeel much) but also not run out of friction coefficient on the track when they get hot.

I sent an enquiry to Centrax, but they ignored it. Guess I will have to ring them aswell.

Have a look at their website,

www.endless-sport.com.au

it should tell you the range of pads they have.

higher friction coefficient doesn't mean better braking performance, consistence is the key. If a pad with high coefficient of 0.5 and performance drops off to 0.2/0.1 when it gets too hot, then what's the use of that pad.

Key point is to select the right compound for your application.

Richard, If they fit under 17's and you don't buy them, then let me know :P

The ones in the photo are just some random stuff from Yahoo auctions - they appear to be a 6 pot calliper on a 324 rotor. Not what I was after, but they would be a good thing none the less....so don't let me stop you.

Yes but according to the nice people from Ferodo the friction coefficient is stable across a large temperature range. That is one of the reasons why I like them.

I'm not saying Ferodos are not good :P they are probably as good as Pagid?

but I can tell you EBCs are shit.

I'm pretty sure you have to run Endless pads if you use Endless caliper system.

If you run AP racing, Alcon, Brembos, maybe Ferodo do the pads for them?

Yes they do. For all of them. Which is why I asked the question. I don't want to have to be locked into the Endless pad range because of the calliper.

Couldn't find out. The people who supply Endless pads pretty much only supply Endless pads. Whereas those that supply Ferodo stuff can't help much without a pad shape - which I can't find. There are a few sites with pad shape info on them, but matching to the calliper is too hard. I haven't yet run anyone down who admits to owning an Endless calliper.

There is info here, but I am stymied because my puta neither has a Japanese language install nor could I read it even if I had.

Maybe try Tony Flood in Perth if you are keen. He is usually very knowledgeble/helpful.

Absolutely. Anything you can manage is all good. Have a look at the link from above because a couple of them have drawn the pad outlines of data sheets. May make it easier.

Also be curious to find out what the piston sizes on these things are....

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
