Okay Problem Solved! Just a few questions here who are well known with the vehicle.
I went to Monro today and they checked out my brakes and told me these were the problems;
- Brake pads need replacement
- Rotors need replacement
- Rear tires need replacement
The sound that I was talking about was the brake pads, which they showed me through the caliper and there was a metal thing on the pad touching the rotors. They want $460 bucks for the pads and rotor to be replaced....I told them I'll be back another day...(NO THANKS).
Looked around online for rotors and pads at autozone, they got duralast rotors for the 04 G35 for $59.99 and Pads going from 29.99 to 49.99. Estimated the cost if I got the rotors($60 each) and Pads($40 each) would equal out to be around $200. Which would save me $260 bucks!!!!
I am definately going to be putting these pads and rotors on myself along with a friend.
Now I would like to know if these will work just fine, Autozone told me it would be fine. Just want to double check with G35 owners.
ROTORS:
Duralast Rotors/Brakes
BRAKE PADS:
Duralast Gold Brake Pad
Monro told me I needed my Rotors replaced, but my Friend and I find that very odd to replace now their only at 22,700 miles. They look fine and when they measured it, seems to have alot of life left. Showed me and it was like (0.89) something like that? Probaly just wanted business! What if I just change the pads without changing the rotors? What are some risk?
Sorry about the huge POST I appreciated it A LOT and would just like my G35 to go back to normal without making a mistake.

So I have decided that my rotors really dont need to be replaced since when I come to a stop even with the warning pad, it never pulls left or right, wiggle, vibrate,etc.
I will replace the pads tho. Stopping by autozone or advance auto parts for whatever brakes they have in. I'll try to get ceramics since they seem to be quiet.
They showed my rear tires and they seriously were bald. I'll need to get on those next. They reccommendec potenza or eagle gt. I recently got my left front replaced with a hankook v4.
Sucks how this is happening at the 22,700 mark.
