Endless Cc-x Break In...

Hi All,

Firstly appologies if this gets posted twice but either my nets up the shit or something funky is goin on with the sau site.

Anyhoo, a few days ago I installed Endless CC-x pads all round along with a brake fluid bleed replaced with Motul RBF600.

obviously im still in my bed in period but the intense squeeling coming from the rears is discusting. Under heavy braking they are relatively silent (which is good as they are bought for track day reasons). But with the less intense preasure used on the street the squeel is huge.. and appears to be getting worse.

Whats happened on my drive home tonight is that the brakes squeel from the touch of the pedal till stop, but now when im at about 15kmph or less a much deeper vibrating, almost grinding sound seems to start to sneak in.

is this just what happens at bed in with these pads or is something a bit funky going on?

I would love to get this sorted asap as its almost making the car undrivable, and a threat to my life from angry people near me.

(oh and i have done a search but returned nothing that came near my issue)

Cheers

Camden

Hey mate. FYI my ccx rears don't squeel much anymore but they are a pretty aggressive pad and will squeel a bit. My front do all the time. ccx's might be a bit track oriented if you wanted street (quiet) pads.

There shouldn't be any grinding when bedding in though.. I'd be checking installation. Did you do it yourself? Check the clips and rods that hold the pads in place.

ive got the same pads and after a while of light braking mine start to squeel really bad and i sometimes get the humming type of sound that you are describing. This only happens to my front brakes though. Ive been told that slotted rotors should fix the problem as it gets rid of all the brake dust.

I would also like to know a fix to this if anyone has one.

BTW my pads are definately installed correctly.

Mike.

I did buy them for track purposes but if im able to leave them in the car between meets it would be an advantage.. My fronts dont squeal at all even under light braking.. just the rears..

I did do the install myself, but im pretty confident its all AOK.. I'll check em out this arvo to make sure.

Checked the rear pad fitment and everything is fine... so doesnt appear anything in the installation is causing the noise

how much $$$ are the endless cc-x pads to buy.

i cant find my receipt but i think all 4 corners cost me $500.. possibly $600.

Depending on what calipers you have you will be able to get them cheaper off the net. I think nengun sell em for about $411, but you'll have to wait a while for them to arrive.

Did you use anti-squeal shims with either grease or that brake silencing goo? If not, then the installation is probably the problem. The Nissan shim kit comes with some grease to use with the shims, but i just used the red CBC brake squeal goo (should be able to get it any spare parts shop) to 'glue' the caliper pistons to one of the shims, and the rear of the pad to the other shim. There was a little grease left between the shims. No squealing at all :)

I certainly have shims in place but i will investigate some brake grease/glue, thanks. :)

      Replica built of first Gibson R32 chassis

      By Victory · Posted

      Clinton and I spoke to Alan Heaphy at length last year at the Bathurst 1000 about the Gibson GTR's that he had at the track and the restoration work that his company was involved with. He has a number of people working for him who were part of Gibson Motorsport when these cars were being built and raced. What impressed me the most was the amount of first hand knowledge and information that he and his team have about the Gibson GTR's and their meticulous attention to detail in the restoration and maintenance of these cars.

      When you track RPM vs time it's clean, unlike the OEM one, even with filtering there are ripples. Means no random misfires or triggering issues at higher RPM, especially if you have big lift cams and a noisier valve train due to heavier springs.

      Cleaner signal so timing is more accurate at all rpm also found it to start more on first rotation but could also be I've nailed prime and crank fuel. For under $400 and 30mins of your time, its a good solution especially once the optical sensor does start to play up you won't notice it until in higher rpm and it heat soaks.

      On a 400hp RB, what benefits other than "it's not 30+ years old" are you seeing from the NZ Wiring Kit trigger setup? If it were me going to change triggering, my belief would be to go for a crank trigger to remove the issues caused by what people claim is belt stretch etc, but that's from my understanding a much larger issue for super high power, rather than those in the 400hp and below club.
