^thanks for the reply, from what I've read it is not a problem of pads or fluid but with the cooling of the brakes. C&D reported that its basically poor engineering on Nissan and the brakes are not allowed efficient cooling and/or not enough air is getting to them from the front. The Stillen brake ducts may work I have looked at those. But still no guarantee with that unless someone on here has experience with them.

When my brake failure happened I had Super Blue and Track pads. I just don't want to buy a car that will be strictly for track and weekends and be afraid to push it because my brakes are failing.
