That is one of the most common triggers, pad fade is the other time I have experienced it but it feels slightly different in the way that it recovers.

With all that said, I feel like the giant brakea and aggressive nature on race pads are locking the front wheels too easily and quickly, causing the ice mode. Of course that's just my opinion and I could be way wrong on it. It's just some of the things you guys are experiencing are different than mine. Btw I ran the 350 with the same pads and never really experiences ice mode. I am curious if nissan patched the abs software or maybe the little calipers I had didnt have the stopping power like my 370s akebono?

Yes, I had the G35 with the crappy calipers like your 350 and never ever had a problem despite getting the brakes to the point of smoking. People were impressed with the stopping power. Did any 350 owners with the fixed caliper Brembo's experience ice-mode? I'm not sure if we can use their ABS controller however thanks to the newer sensors (yaw etc) and if it would be compatible with the ECU.

My brake pad experiments in the 370 have had the opposite results to yours though. I tried running the same compound front and rear for a session and it was pretty difficult. Minor ice-mode every time you stepped on the brake too hard too quickly. With a lesser pad in the rear it doesn't happen as much. Basically the same problem as the Corvette just in reverse.
