brake fluid recommendations

I just switched to a set of goodridge SS brake lines, & 4 bottles of Motul 600. The car is running great now.

So am I understanding that even though Nissan recommends DOT 3 that we should uses DOT 4 if we track?

DOT4 and DOT3 are immiscible, so there is no problem using DOT4 on the track or on the street. It is a higher spec than DOT3 as it pertains to boiling points. Most racing fluid "conforms" to DOT4, although the best fluids are quite a bit better than the minimum specs call for.
