Then find a safe place and go a do a proper bed in of your brakes.

I had a used OEM Brembo kit from a 350Z installed a few weeks ago and was getting vibration at high speed braking. Did my 3rd bed in tonight and it is fine now, no more virbation. (The first two times I couldn't do the full bed in as I couldn't find a long and deserted enough stretch of road, but there was already a definate improvement after the 2nd attempt. )

id just get your rotors turned.... if u have decent milage and or did a brake job recently it should be covered under the warranty(if u did it at a shop).....if not just get them turned if u dont need pads also... its most likely minimal warpage...if it was carriers id suspect more of a noise and or at all speeds to go along with the shaking...

I got the same problem in my coupe. When my brakes heat up it wobbles all over the place at low brake speed and high brake speeds.... I dont know what exactly i need done to my rotors as they only have 10,250 miles on them and original pads.... The dealer had changed the brakes and they left a pad without its placement pin on it and the pad was staying stuck on to the rotor making a noise when i turned. I fixed the pin situation that hled the pad in but didnt fix the rotors i guess, it still wobbles..... Any suggestions where i can get them resurfaced? I live in Miami Lakes, FL 33015

Warped Rotors........?
The issue here is warped rotors.........warranty! Infiniti/Nissan knows they
have poor quality rotors, they can turn them while still on the vehicle....
just use your warranty. This is caused by two things.....when the rotors
are manufactured they are not allowed to cool long enough and installing
wheels without using a tork wrench. Both of these contrubute to warped
rotors, next time you get new tires make sure your tire/wheel combo are
installed using a tork wrench!

I usually tighten my wheels with an air gun which i have hooked up to my compressor... Is that too much torque? Its the same thing the guys at the wheel shop use so i hope that has been safe. Anyway, ill swing by Pepboys and resurface them and it go away. Doing a resurface means i have to change pads too? Mine are almost new and i dont want to waste my money. Thanks for the help
