i have the same thing going on with mine, but i have different pads so less brake dust. i figure it to be rather normal as i had the same thing with my z32 bbk on my maxima.

Assuming you have OEM Brembo pads, they make a lot of dust, which means they are working well.

Jack your wheels up and spin them by hand. See if they wheels freely spin. Take the wheel off, spin the rotor and see if you can tell where the noise is coming from
