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....

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

      roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
