Hello everyone.

I don't know about you but i like to roam You Tube and other streaming sites for videos on our wonderful car the V35.

If you have any videos of your car or great videos you have seen about the V35 post the links here.

I'll start with a few of mine

And this one i really like

Great vid... made me feel better about my efforts on the track too! It was almost satisfying to see a pro struggle to get the '05 hooked up out of the tighter corners, and I was feeling his frustration with the 2 lap ponies they call "brakes" on the 05/06... brake fade by lap 3 is par for the course for those without Brembos! A brake upgrade is a definite for any regular track day V-warrior and even if it's your track debut, my advice for those without Brembos is to put in the highest temp rated pads you can afford, they'll at least give you a couple more laps before your brake pedal feels like it's pushing on marshmellow!

Mine has brembos, fitted with QFM A1RM pads, and i didnt notice any brake fade at all (doing sessions of 5 laps at a time at phillip island). My semi slicks on the other hand were noticeably less grippy on the 4th and 5th laps.

Yeah I've talked with a few of the guys with 350z's and Brembo's lapping the same days as me, and none of them have complained of brake fade issues. I've learnt the '05 just has grossly inadequate brakes for the track (with no Brembo option offered in 05/06). I did try some QFM A1RM's and the RDA Slotted rotors last track day and got them so hot I literally melted the pad material from the backing plate (no good for rotor longevity)! I'm just trying to find some footage of me badly missing an apex or taking a run across the kitty litter to post on Youtube... though I fear vanity may have meant I destroyed the evidence!

But the '05 Brakes are plenty adequate for street driving and a decent set of pads will easily have your braking needs covered for a blast through some mountain twisties... just found some footage of me demsontrating that point through some of Tasmania's national parks. OK needs a quick edit and it should be up soon.
