RCZ and I believe TravisJB have both experienced this - they called it "icing up".
BTW, the swiftness in the fade was evident in the Car and Driver test that caused the NISMO to crash - it came on so suddenly and without warning, they COULDNT safely pull over. Scary!

Yikes!
Well, the OP has sport brakes already anyway, so he'd probably be ok getting oil cooler and pads/fluid/lines before tracking, wouldn't you think? And that's not all that pricey compared to replacing the brakes.
