Track Day with 350Z brakes
I just completed my first track day at Tunderhill ,California with my new brake system. I must complement Russel at 350Zbrakes.com for a great brake design.
I ran all day at 94degrees outside air and had no problem with overheating of brakes like I had with the standard brake system on the Touring model.
I could just hammer the brakes comming down from 125MPH on the front straight and see no fade or smoking brakes. I had a great time and can only rave over how much better this system works then what I had to baby through the previous track days.
I am runnning 4 seconds faster than previoud times and 15 MPH faster on the straight aways.
Just changed my tires and checked my pads and very little ware was evendent. Previously I would have used half of the pads in one day because of the seveer temperature with the sandard system.
Thanks again for the system Russel. I can't wait for my next track day October 7.

That's awesome news Ray! 4 seconds a lap faster is HUGE! I'm sure some of that time is due to "upgrades" between the steering wheel and drivers seat. ;-)
Glad you are so happy with the setup!
