370Z Meets Wall - the culprit? Brake Fade
Everyone hear about this?
http://www.caranddriver.com/features...ng_lap-feature
I think that I need to get the 350Z and 370Z Fade Stop Brake Coolers manufactured and soon! (http://www.fourproducts.com)
I already have them for the older Z's and 911's but if people are gonna keep driving perfectly good NISMO cars into walls, I guess I had better hurry it up!
Does anyone know a good reference for the calipers found on the different late model Z's? Are the 370Z and 350Z brembos the same? I have brake pads from a 350Z Brembos, but I will need access to a car here in the greater LA area (North Hollywood area) to do a test fit.

The brake coolers are for serious racing applications. They are not a street mod. Any mechanism that removes heat from the brake pads and prevents it from transferring to the caliper and fluid is good. Period. Lower temps in the pads mean longer lifetimes as well.
You can all laugh all you want. It doesn't bother me. My orders are coming from people who want the extra edge to win races.

...and when was the last time you ran Daytona? Or the Streets of Willow? Or Mid-Ohio?
