Track Day Best Practices - MUST READ

2011 Nismo#91

I have to say thank you all for putting all this information in one place. I have read through almost all of this thread and I have come up with the following items I still think I need.
Carbotech Brake Pads Sport Front - Pads XP10
$199.00
Carbotech Brake Pads Sport Rear - Pads XP10
$166.00
Motul RBF 600 Performance Brake Fluid 2 Qts
$34.50

I am going to try to make it out to NJ Motorsports Park a few times this year. It will be my first time a track, and I want to have a good safe track car.

My car is a 2011 Nismo with the Nismo pads but I don't want to test them on the track. I have already installed a 24 row oil cooler and soon will have installed the CJM Fuel starvation kit. The only other performance changes are Stillen G3 intake and Berk Test pipes. The rest of the car is OEM.

My one question is since I will be already draining all the brake fluid should I change out the brake lines to SS or is there really no benefit since the car isn't old and doesn't have many miles on it?

Just go Motul 660 not the 600, or even Endless fluid. You will cook the 600 easily with those pads. Mushy horrible brakes is something you will experience inevitably, but the less the better.

The SS brakelines are a quick cheap safety upgrade, first thing a lot of guys do. I would highly recommend it. If a $25.00 brake line is the difference between a rubber line exploding and a SS line not exploding, then it's a definite buy at $25.00.

Is a dry 23 degrees really worth it? The wets actually 1 degree lower. To me, for price, the 600 seems better.

The man is talking sense .

660 isn't worth it unless you are a race team and flush/bleed every time you go to the track, and can afford the added cost.
