Maybe I'm wrong...
it's not the fluid or pad. I heard the issue is in the design of the car. there isn't enough airflow to the rotors because nissan went for the least air resistance possible. the entire issue could almost entirely disappear with a brake duct kit. i suspect if it was that easy nissan would have done that though.
