Z Meets Wall: We Investigate Why the NISMO Z's Brakes Failed at Lightning Lap - Feature - Car and Driver

There is the answer. If the sport brakes go soft after a few track laps. crappy pads, aerodynamics, and no break cooling vent, and boiling brake fliuid. If one can cook the sport brakes the base brakes don't have a chance on the 370z. They will heat up a lot faster and fade quicker.

Aritcal states the hardware is just fine the cooling of the brakes seems to be the issue. Looking at the car I notice no cooling design what so ever. Even my Sky Redline has front vented cooled front brakes, heck even my Expedtion. Nismo 370z none??? WTF!

So let me get this we pay a lot for the car, then have to purchase upgraded pads, oil cooler, trans cooler, diff cooler, new brake fluid, and brake cooling kit to hit the track?

Sounds like the OP is an "interesting" person who needs "guidance".

You are not cooking anything from ONE 70-0 stop, buy better tires if you want to stop quicker.

Have you ever been to the track? Go find a track regular who is on the stock pads and stock fluid, they will laugh at you.

Also as a FYI. The Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes option, you know the $8K option on 911/Boxster, can't take the abuse of a full track day either. If you overheat them by doing straight laps/sessions, they will simply wear out and you will end up having to pay $5K for a new brake job. Some of the GT3 owners actually swap the PCCB out to get the brakes off the regular car since they are much cheaper and are more reliable at the track or they have to buy DEDICATED TRACK PADS like everyone else

So many things wrong this post, I'm not even going to bother explaining.

lol im assuming that you have tried this and found out the hard way? You have done it all wrong im sorry to say. Once you do that, you have to add some bacon booster and it will clean out your entire fuel system and such. Even guves your car a little extra kick :rofl2:

Does it add delicious applewood or hickory smoke flavor?

Lmao @ this thread

I ate some free bacon at the Hampton Inn in Yuba City this morning. It was delicious. It was free. It was all-you-could-eat.

i bought 2 x 1lb pounds of bacon at Rouse's yesterday for 4$! what a bargain!!
