As part of our track testing and development of GTR parts at Willall Racing one thing we have done is overpowered the standard braking system. In 12,000 miles we have exhausted 5 sets of brake rotors and around 15 sets of brake pads, and in the middle developed a water cooling system - WR35WS - which has helped us and many others around the world keep a longer and stronger pedal and nearly double pad life. The problem being - the faster you go and the better tyre you have, the more brake you need....

We chose the Endless braking system for R35 for a couple of reasons. Firstly we needed a stiffer and stronger caliper. We were losing 30% of pad life at least with the taper - in both axis - in pad wear with the standard caliper. Secondly Endless offer a bigger rotor, titanium piston, and super thick (double the thickness of stock GTR) brake pads. Its part of their Super Taikyu endurance program, so lets get them on....

This weekend we are testing at the track. We have an existing benchmark with the stock braking system on AP J-Hooks/stock calipers, we are using the same Advan 20 inch slick tyre set, and the weather conditions look to be similar. Yes we have developed a WR35WS water injection setup for these bad boys as well. In my experience on the matter, nothing suits a race track better than a race brake...and I cant wait to put this Endless Mono-6 setup to the test and see how it stacks up against the Brembo competition setup on our Porsche GT Car :cheers:

wow, massive number of vanes in those rotors! I'm guessing they pump a fair bit of air.

the calipers looks nice and very 'reminiscent' of alcon and the current generation brembos... even the font is very brembo...

yeah nothing adds confidence like brakes that perform stop after stop.

84 vane rotors.

Combined with our water injection system they should be the business :)

(I have always loved Endless gear, it just works so well)

New Endless Mono-6 system was awesome at EC :)

As for the water? It turns to steam before it really even contacts the rotor so there is no evidence it has even been there apart from a very cool rim (or at least not red-hot) when the car comes back into the pits....

Will check on the piston area with Endless.

Hello Martin. Is this the same as the kit developed for the HKS R35 GTR? Looks very similar. Also didn't I read somehwere you had already done a ceramic brake upgrade instead?

Cheers

Marty

If you have the OEM Brembo calipers there that is piston area I would like to know... thanks Martin.

Good to hear they worked well :)

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
    • You must be fun at parties.
