I think Nissan shot itself in the foot with a reply like that. In other words, "our performance-enhanced version of our high-performance sports car (GTR aside) isn't really meant to handle track conditions. If you want that, you can always buy our upgraded brake package for $500"
By the way C&D tested the Nismo with the $500 pads and it didn't do a whole lot better than the standard .

Indeed, in fact it did worse! Rather initial bite was worse. Obviously there was less fade. But seriously guys, if your going to hot lap your car. And you dont upgrade your brake pads/fluid....
Under your average joe trackday. I doubt you push your pads to the point that C&D did.
