multiple sources suggested that nismo took a little more effort to stop from 60-0.
inside line said nismo pads felt wooden compared to 370z Sport.

is braking performance on nismo affected by the stiffer chassis, suspension setup?
Please advise if you have any idea!
The chassis isnt any stiffer - they didnt do that with this generation of the Z, versus the 350Z's. The suspension however, is a bit stiffer. It's possible the stiffer suspension is the biggest culprit, due to less weight transfer to the front tires.
