Track input on brakes

Been covered, but since I'm posting. This is a great question. Besides the nut behind the wheel brakes are the most important part of a car for a track day.

Been covered, but since I'm posting. This is a great question. Besides the nut behind the wheel brakes are the most important part of a car for a track day.

FLUIDS: Motul RBF600, Castrol SRF, or PFC 665
PADS: Carbotech, PFC 08, PFC 01, EBC

I run all PFC components and have spare slotted discs for the front. Next time I will get blanks with no slots so they are easier to resurface. I don't have SS lines or any other brake mods and the cars has done well on hot days on very brake intensive tracks. You said you are on a budget and PFC is a bit pricey. That being said if you start tracking you (unfortunately) are likely going to have to increase that budget to have fun and be safe. Also to note for pads, there are a few people on the forum that having problems with Hawks on the track with the 370z. I loved Hawks on my S14 but decided not to even try on my 370 just to be safe.

Make sure you change brake fluid at most 90 days before an event. Normally I use 2 bottles (500mL each) per brake fluid change, and like to have at least one spare.
