Nothing wrong with the Nissan Akebono brakes ...... but if you flog them mercilessly then they will fade unless you have decent pads .... if you want to abuse anything it will fail eventually.
I have covered 65000 klics and dozens of track days and have had no brakes problems that I could not tie back to track surface conditions or plain old driver error ....
If you experienced "brake failure" in a 350Z - what were the circumstances and how much "mechanical sympathy" was exhibited .... do you actually understand what "brake fade" is, how you recognise it and what you do to deal with it ... because if yu don't, I'd invite you to undertake some research that might just save your life ....
A poor workman will blame his tools if he lacks the expertise to use them effectively.
This is a WOFTAM post ..........
