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:

  Quote
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.

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
