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....

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
