Missed out on the Brembos, but they're in my future as soon as I get this SES thing figure out.. Light came on after installing the SC... Because I lack the ability, and knowledge to do the work myself, it's a little more difficult because I have to rely on somebody else to do the work.. But I''m acquiring a pretty good pit team..but it takes me longer to get that cash together..
Where did you order your replacement brake, rotor etc...? Not sure if it's against the rules, so feel free to PM me....Thanks.

they took care of everything.. so far so good nice and quiet stops like a banshee no rattles squeels howls.. no nothing.. and lifetime warranty on the pads themselves so free replacement when they wear out.
They did have much more expensive part options but I just wanted the OEM equivalent.
didn't need slotted or drilled.

This is kind of a no-brainer. 
I'm sure anyone could figure that out.
Anyways, one thing I know for sure that needs to be replaced at 105k are spark plugs; my service advisor warned me about that (my G is at 98.6k miles). Check the belts for any cracks, plus the level of cooling system fluid. Do the brakes squeal? How about tire pressure/tire tread? Also check the air filter, if its very filthy you may want to replace it.

Yes, my brake squeals a bit. I also recently changed my air filter with a fram one. Do you think I can do the spark plugs myself or are they pretty difficult to get to?

Differential fluid
Tranny flush
Cabin air filter
Coolant flush
Power steering flush
Wipers/washer fluid
Hoses
Axel Grease/Check
Suspension
Bushings
Ball joints
Compression arms
Steering gear and linkage
Lube locks and hinges
Wheel bearings

Sounds like the axle click. With the car stopped, accelerate slowly and you should here a clicking sound.

what service at 105k...
Infiniti can actually look up maintenance records on your car, even if they have to request it from 'corporate' - if you give your VIN to a cooperative dealer near you. (That's assuming prior owner used a dealer to do maintenance).
Otherwise, you can go to their website and lookup the periodic service plan to see what inifiniti recommends at every service period... and ask a mechanic to check out your car to see which they believe have been performed recently.
Until then, at least you can start doing basic maintenance (minor service stuff like oil, fluids, lubs, filters, etc).
You've probably already done... ciao

no sweat no secret took it to a chain here called Just Brakes.
they took care of everything.. so far so good nice and quiet stops like a banshee no rattles squeels howls.. no nothing.. and lifetime warranty on the pads themselves so free replacement when they wear out.
They did have much more expensive part options but I just wanted the OEM equivalent.

The back of the brake pads need to be greased, that will help keep them from squealing. I had a problem with this not too long ago, I bought new pads because my car was squealing loudly. When I went to swap them out I noticed the old pads were barely worn and identical in size to the new pads. I threw the new pads on anyways and they still squealed.
Go get some brake grease and that should fix it.
