Brakes Lost Brake Pressure - Brake+VDC+E-Brake lights on

I have a 2004 G35 with 127K on it.

Yesterday my Brake+VDC+E-brake lights on and lost pressure to the brake pedal. I have to press the pedal to the floor to stop the car.

I checked my fluid which was low so I filled it up and no change, except the lights shut off temporarily. When I checked my fluid today it was below the minimum line again so I added more. All parts are stock except for aftermarket brakes (my mistake they suck), which I changed about 6mo ago, so they shouldn't be worn to that point.

I'm worried its the booster, because I don't know how air would have gotten into the lines. Can anyone offer some advice?

It was a busted rear caliper and it was leaking fluid. I replaced both left and right.

Thanks for help!

Question- whats the life of the timing belts on the infinitis?

I hope the previous owner had to have at least changed it once bc i bought it with 124k, but i could be wrong.

Whats are your thoughts? When i pulled the plugs, they were pretty worn, so that leads me to think maybe it wasnt. It was a little old lady who owned it and didnt do much.

Thanks
