That was my guess. "I read" turns into "a guy I know" pretty quickly.

playing devils advocate, it's not like wrecks at track days are that big of a deal that you'd have heard of them.


Probably not true though.

First time tracking the car. Start slow and work your way up. Good pads, and Motul brake fluid. Then Ti heat pads, cooling ducts, 2 piece rotors. Only do what you can afford, and your skill level.

Yea. I have only had the Nismo 5 days. I grew up on the track so I know how to drive, but want to spend the time getting to know my new car and how she handles. She's defiantly different than my 07' and I could really push the limits in that one.

Talk to the track rats here. I'm following on what they here to say. It's been good advice. Watch on your selection on pads. Too much bite up front and a rear wheel locks for a sec, and you can get ice-mode if you're a heavy braker.
