Exactly.

ZLady, I'd upgrade the pads for a track day, but besides that, kick āss out there!

Brakes ducts should probably be next in terms of mods, then fluid. (Maybe do fluid and lines at the same time)

Also, some RC6 pads to swap in and a Motul RBF600 flush is what you should do if you want badass track day setup.

You'll just need to re-bed the street pads afterwards.

Thanks for the advice. It was from my coworker who is my IT guy and races himself. Apparently happened at a track day in Palm Beach. I was just asking if anyone had heard of this. I found it a little strange that three did too. SO I was just looking to see if y'all had heard of anything similar or of any breaking issues. Whether or not my information was embellished by the person who told me doesn't matter. I just wanted to make sure to be safe. I figured before I take her to the track I plan on making a few tweaks to prepare her anyways. Thanks.

Are the high rigidity hoses just less flexible rubber then?

Teflon inner with stainless steel braided outer - substantially more capable of resisting "swelling" than rubber.

How are those different than other SS lines then?

Sounds like they are just as good and OEM to boot

They're not. Some though have a clear outer shell to protect the SS.

Some oil/fuel SS lines though are soft rubber with a SS outer. Don't think anyone uses that on brakes though.

carbotech xp8's all around, rbf600 for both clutch and brake fluid, and you should be good to go.

SS lines you can definitely do at the same time as the brake fluid flush, but its not 100% necessary. brake ducts are nice too, but i honestly doubt you'd hit any brake fade with the above mods as a beginner. i know i dont.

Thought the Nismo came with a higher temp fluid from Nissan?
