Dogs or cats? which make better pets, and why?

See now that's where you're wrong.

I'd agree, except that I cannot accept what you're saying as true, and toxik's got a decent point, but it's completely and utterly baseless.

that thought had too many curves in it, and unless you're running your brain in stock gear ratio set-up.... you're only gonna be fast in a straight line answer.

PS, you're wrong

I'm convinced that it's a severe lack of air flow to the rotors/calipers etc vs. a caliper design flaw that's creating this issue.

FYI, R35 GTRs that see serious track time also suffer from this exact same issue and there are aftermarket brake ducting solutions available that remedy it. Apparently, same goes for the Z32 platform as well.

Starting to make me think Nissan needs to hire someone with some better knowledge in this area. I suspect they are trading brake cooling (only an issue for track rats) for better aero/cd #'s.
