Endless have released a range of aftermarket brake pads suitable for the 2007+ Nissan R35 GT-R this week. The ceramic carbon metal range of brake pads (cc-X) are suitable for the standard Brembo 6 pot front and 4 pot rear brake caliper setup and are good for street and trackday use.
Pricing is slightly more reasonable than Nissan’s asking price for replacement Brembo pads coming in at 36,750 yen ($368 USD) for a set of front pads (part #RCP117) and 25,200 yen ($252USD) for a set of rear pads (part #RCP118). As usual Endless also sell full sets of cc-X pads for R35 GT-Rs but pricing is not yet available.
These pads add to an existing market for R35 GT-R brake pads from manufacturers such as Pagid/Mine’s but at a significantly lower price.

Endless, brake manufacturer of choice for many of the best tuners of the R35 GT-R so far, have finally launched their Racing Mono6 line of brake upgrades to the general public this week. Having been seriously tested by the likes of MCR and Hirano Tire on the track in prototype form, these are now available in the form of Endless “System Inch Up Kits”.
Pricing is steep as expected but the quality of the hardware matches it. For the kits you’re looking at:
- Front Only: 787,500 yen ($7875 USD)
- Rear Only: 669,900 yen ($6,690 USD)
- Rear and Front Kit: 1,417,500 yen ($14,175 USD)
The kits are supplied with 387mm x 34mm two piece slotted vented rotors with aluminum hats, Endless RCP072 pads, braided lines and caliper brackets for bolt on fitment.

MCR spent today in the sunshine out at Fuji Speedway testing their new Endless brake and suspension setup. The new brake and suspension setup is the same as advertised on the Endless R35 GT-R at Tokyo AutoSalon in January. We don’t have any lap times just yet but we will keep our ear to the ground and update when we know more.
Update: During this testing MCR managed a 1.52.216 lap time which is their best in the R35 GT-R. The ARC exhaust resulted in a noticeable power increase, the brakes are an improvement and the suspension worked well. More development on the settings will yield greater times again I’m sure.

After fitting the Endless Zeal suspension on their R35 GT-R MCR are also fitting up and Endless Racing Mono6 Type-3 6 spot calipers – the same ones we saw at Tokyo Auto Salon 2008. These rotors are not carbon, the photo is a little dark that’s all.

After what seems like quite a while, MCR look to be trying out some Endless Zeal suspension on their R35 GT-R. Will be nice to see some track times once they’ve worked out the settings to see how much difference it makes over the already fairly decent stock suspension.
Update: A couple more images from MCR of their new suspension:
