I think that is what it is going take. Sadly I think BBK's alone aren't even going to fix this, and there are going to be some angry customers who will have spent $4K on one only to find out the brakes still go to crap. My amateur diagnostic skills aren't going to figure this one out unfortunately. What feels really weird is that when it just starts happening it feels like you are driving over patches of sand on the road as it cycles between stopping well and ABS hell. The hotter things get the more it cycles away from the well side.

It could be as simple as we are driving the car outside of the parameters programmed into the ABS computer, but only Nissan Japan knows that answer.

I have pads (HP+ good enough for my temps currently), slotted rotors, and ATE Blue fluid. The problem is still exactly the same.

On the plus side it should solve your rotor gouging issue, but sadly the brakes will still feel like crap.
