Hey guys,

I traded my 04 coupe for an 06 fully loaded,black on black,

So far i did the suspension and pop charger/plenum

Anyway, i have 2 issues with the car:

1. When i press on the brake, it doesn't just feel as aggressive as the loaner G's ive driven. Like i have to depress the brake all the way to the floor to get good braking power, and even then sometimes it just glides..

BTW i have new pads/rotors that are only 2 months old..

2. My navigation doesnt display any notifications. My 04 G35 would tell you when your fuel is low, problem with ABS,etc, This one doesnt show anything like that.. is this normal..

Thanks a lot

 

1. NEW BRAKE!!
2. what type of notification you want??? check your setting!!

 

I have new pads and rotors.. what could be wrong?

I mean notification for low fuel, bad abs, etc, nothing shows up.. ive looked thru option


ONE MORE THING:

the past few times i put the car in reverse, i brake and theres pulsating in brake and weird noise and the car wont stop for few seconds.. this might be ABS but why would abs kick on in a dry day reversing at 5mph..

 

change/check the fluid whenever you do new pads and bleed the brakes starting with the passenger side rear brake first(farthest away from master cylinder)

 

For the brakes...you went from Brembo to non-brembo. You're bound to see a difference.

 

+1 on Brembo to non-Brembo being a difference... As far as the ABS engaging in reverse, I've read before that other people have this happen occasionally, and it is supposedly the ABS "self-check" - nothing to worry about.

 

check the brake fluid and possibly bleed the brakes

 

check the brake fluid and possibly bleed the brakes

 

yeah the way to check the abs is pump up the brakes with the car off then start the car with your foot still holding the brake the pedal should sink a little bit if the abs is working which is what they tell you in school, or you could do a burn out with traction control on my favorite way

 

check the fluid and bleed the brakes

 

your master cylinder might be going bad. It controls the oil pressure

 

My car is 5at

by the way i never had brembo.. im just saying my brakes dont work as well as my old 04, or even any of the loaner guys.

Ive almost gotten into a few accidents this week cuz im braking and the S*** isnt stopping

 

You shouldn't be having those kinda issues with your brakes. If you still have
a warranty take it in and let them diagnose the problem. Installing pads
shouldn't have anything to do with air in your lines but a funky master cylinder
could be the problem....pedal feel and not stopping.

 

I got warranty but i have aftermarket pads and rotors plus camber kits & suspension

U know they'll say im not covered anymore because of my aftermarket parts

 

You probably already know but in the NAV menu there is an option for something like "short menu". if you disable that you get a whole lot more options, but since you had a G before you probably already know this,.... but I think the NAV changed a bit from 03/05-06/07 so maybe this helps
