I'm considering a set of Endless CC-x front pads for the GTR.

I decided against the NA-Rs as the NA-Rs have a working temp of 300 - 800 celcius, whereas the CC-x have a working temp of 100 - 700 celcius.

Anyone tried them? They're a ceramic based compound

I'm running NA-Rs on my GTS-T. Awesome pad, they actually have decent bite when cold. But very noisy pad, I use Endless SSS now for road use. Will use WINMAX next as the SSS is wearing out.

CC-X, ask Sidewaymambo, he's using them on his R33 - my opinion, they're awesome. Have tried the CC-X in a STi with the Endless 6-pot calipers, and they were unbelievable.

Thanks mist, on my last GTSt I used SS-S, they were very nice on the street, but cracked the poos on the track. The R33 GTSt is just too heavy for them, with that swept area disc. I think I will order some CC-X's, but I believe they are very heavy on rotors.

I've also got a set of Hawk pads in the garage (came with the car) any good?

yeah 33s a little heavier than the 32, SSS would not be sufficient. NA-Rs quite awesome, I keep them for track use. Phil's CC-X and caliper combo quite awesome, so I'm looking forward to trying that next :D

re: CC-X and how they affect rotors:

I have seen 2 different extremes.

1) BEL Garage's 'EAT22B' STi - Endless 6 pot calipers with CC-X pads and Endless Straight6 rotors. Owner used to drive the car everyday with those pads on, and also on to track, etc. Didn't seem to have an issue of pads munching the rotors

2) Some other guy's WRX with CC-X pads, running APEXi GT rotors. He managed to lunch both the pads AND rotors - pads were ground down to bare metal, and the rotors weren't slitted anymore hahaha...

Was put down to the 2nd guy braking like a grandma all the time, never bothering to warm up the brakes at all - surely from time to time he could have given the middle pedal a firm stab with no one following close behind? :D i think it was something like that anyway (my disclaimer hahahha)

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
