That's a creative idea; I bet they didn't check the tires either, on said car. At least half a dozen other auto reviewers drove the piss out of the Nismo Z and didn't have this issue, maybe it was a fluke.

Either way, where's Nissans defense behind not outfitting the "test" Nismo Z's with a half way decent pad for track use? Where's the reasoning for equipping the "test" Nismo Z's with oil coolers, but not better brake pads, and even further not equipping the production Nismo Z's with a factory oil cooler?
