help with pads for MK63 calipers

[tumbleweed]

Firstly hello to all,

I bought my 240z ~2yrs ago and it was fitted with Sumitomo Mk63 front calipers on solid discs when i bought it. I'm now having problems finding pads for them. I've heard 'Endless' make pads for these calipers, does somebody have a part number? Or know a website where I could order pads?

Cheers

Nissan P/N 41060-R1120 which consists of 4 new M2800 "medium hard" FIA pads for the FIA calipers that use the solid OE rotor.

You might e-mail Courtesy Nissan - at one point they had them.

FWIW,

Thanks Carl

Unfortunately those pads are not available here in Australia from Nissan

I've emailed Courtesy Nissan and am awaiting a response but was hoping somebody would be able to suggest another brand they've used.

It's fairly easy to get pads for the vented rotor version of the MK63 in Japan ( Rubber Soul, Victory 50, Kameari, PitRoad, RS Start and others all stock them), but the solid disc non-vented type - a different pad shape - are more difficult.

You might try asking for 41060-RS610 with an Australian NISMO dealer ( that's a NISMO part number for the M59S friction material version of the non-vented MK63 ) but it's likely they will have to import them specially.

I use ENDLESS pads on my MK63s ( three cars ) and they are really good, but I don't believe they have a 'stock' pad for the non-vented version and they would likely need to be made to special order.

Using the pad dimensions in the diagrams below, you might like to try asking an Australian brake specialist if they have anything close. I seem to remember that there is a UK Ford caliper ( 3 litre Capri and Granada? ) that used similar pads that can be modified to suit.....
