Its already confirmed by NISSAN that the 2012 models will come with oil coolers as standard equipment

Nissan sport brakes are excellent...switch out the pads and issue resolved....the problem was not with the braking system but with an incorrect spec'd pad.

Yeah, I think they are good brakes, too.

We've discussed in some other threads that the main problem is cooling. The stock calipers retain a lot of heat and don't get any airflow to cool off, so they can heat the pads up quickly. When the brakes overheat, they tend to give up without warning which can be very dangerous.

Obviously the solution is a higher temp pad and brake fluid, but routing some cooling direction to the calipers definitely helps if you are a track junky. I think Resispa has some custom cooling, and I'm sure travis has a custom setup as well.
