The real shame should be on Nissan, though. If they had given the Nismo proper brakes and an oil cooler (it is supposed to be the "track" model right?) it would have been able to make laps without issue.
Nissan never called it an out of the box track car. They called it a track inspired car. Politics brother... But that's history now.
The Nismo has brake cooling hoses and upgraded/updated tech, base pads and an optional pair that rock. There's an oil cooler now that helps somewhat decently. But before i got my cooler. I was able to drop my temps 12 degrees with premium oil. 12 degrees is still enough drop to save me from limp mode under crucial situations.
I think the pads having to be changed was on C&D. You can tell driving off the lot that Z pads aren't really good for the track.
