Ice mode braking

Sounds like the combination of high grip and high driver skill exceeds the heat dissipation capability of our stock brakes.

What cars have you previously run?

No I am not at all a skilled driver, just the setup on the Z is quite nice to drive. I had a 350Z as track car before with similar setup but didn’t have these brake issues.

Thanks Rusty, I even ran into the same problem with the RE71R, maybe the tracknis a bit bumpy? I am going to get Z1 2 piece rotors and a new set of pads to see. Don’t know how to deal with the Stillen brackets and the 3” hoses though lol

I been using Carbtech XP10 front and XP8 on the rear with Racing Brake 2 piece rotors. Hard Braking Ti heat shields on the front pads. I have the Nismo RC brake ducts in the front bumper. I believe these bring in more air then the Non-Nismo front bumper inlets from Stillen.

To mod the Stillen kit for a 3" hose. Parts are out there.
