Feeling a bit panicky and overwhelmed! 
What else?!
How bad is this going to beat my Z up?! |
1) bring a gauge. Keep them at 35 psi or whatever is recommended
2) No but it can only extend the track time before it boils. I went to Sears Point at least 4 times with a stock set up before i changed my brakes at all.
3) I hire this done. Ask another for certainty, but I think you remove the wheel to inspect the pads visually. You might be able to use a mirror though.
4) Your track
looks like you will have one big brake zone followed by a cooling down of the brakes via slight use. I think you will be fine all the way around. Go a little slower,down shift, and coast a bit into your big braking zones and they ought to hold up without worry.
Your Z will not be beat up so badly really. With 11 track events on mine, people still ask if it is new. I did put on an acrylic wax that seems to have helped with the tire rubber come off the hood.
Ask me anything
Good luck
