I would love to hear someone that actually tracked the car hard nismo or not with sports package. If you have i'm assuming you did have hi temp fluid, steel braded lines, and race pads because that is what you would do to any car that goes to the track let it be a vette or a toyota camry.

If anyone falls into this category then you are welcome to give your input here. The rest of the thread is full of panic and assumption based on an article that was published to justify the stupidity of the test driver that failed to realise that brakes are fading i better slow the fvck down.....
If you upgrade all of the above the brakes may survive a track session when driven conservatively, however it wont survive a track session when flat out for 30 minutes. I've upgraded to the AP Racing kit and even those ultimately suffer the same fate, badly needs cooling vents.

Many of the harder drivers here have experienced the problem, and no there is none of the typical fade warnings before you get there.
