Follow-up analysis to Car & Driver crashing Nismo 370Z at VIR

SE

I'm actually working on making a good DIY on brake ducting for the Nismo. I'll post results soon

If you boil the brake fluid you can have good brakes on one stop and pedal to the floor on the next, I've done it and it's not fun.

Their summary is correct, the brake cooling on this car is non-existent, one of the worst I've ever had. Normally you get some cooling in the vented rotors by the spinning cooling vanes acting as an air pump, but on our cars the aerodynamics prevent it from happening to much effect. I don't care if you have upgraded brakes from AP or Brembo, you have the same problem.

The next mod this car needs is brake vents, period. I don't understand why none of the vendors have stepped up to the challenge.
