So does anyone know if all Nismo's have the upgraded sports pads, or only a certain build date have them. I understand the Nissan sport pads are better than the stock akebono pads.
The NISMO pads are a dealer add-on, AFAIK.

Nismo
 
So when they say Nismo and the sports package having better brakes just mean the caliper and the rotor and not the pads?

Correct. All the models use a low dust (and low temperature) organic pad from the factory. The Sport and the Nismo (same calipers) at least have a mild upgrade available via the Nismo pad dealer install.

Nissan is so cheap. If they intended to make a factory track car, why not spend an extra $100 and put better pads on the Nismo.
