well for the brembos the dealers told me up to 12,000k theyll replace it but who the fu** needs new break pads and rotors at 12,000k....but overall i would say you have to pay for it....

 

I just got my front pads and rotors replaced under warranty. My rear pads still have 85% life on them according to the dealer. My car has 36,000 miles on it. Brakes are non Brembo and I occaisionaly drive aggresively. Most miles are highway miles.

 

I just looked at my latest service and it stated that my pads had 5mm left (24k at the time). Is that low?

 

Here's the pad wear info from the 2004 service manual:

6MT (Brembo)
Front:
Standard thickness : 9.3 mm (0.366 in)
Repair limit thickness : 2.0 mm (0.079 in)

Rear:
Standard thickness : 9.1 mm (0.358 in)
Repair limit thickness : 2.0 mm (0.079 in)



5AT (non-Brembo)
Front:
Standard thickness : 11.0 mm (0.433 in)
Repair limit thickness : 2.0 mm (0.079 in)

Rear:
Standard thickness : 8.5 mm (0.335 in)
Repair limit thickness : 2.0 mm (0.079 in)


My 2004 5AT pads lasted about 9000 miles but that included two track days .

 

Just a quick heads up guys....I currently ordered a 05 G35Coupe 6MT, so I am anxiously waiting for that....but I have read alot into the G35 coupes and I found out that just recently Infiniti has admitted that there is a problem with their rotors/pads that wear down alot quicker than normal. I haven't read anything about the 05 models having this issue, but the 03-04 models do...read the following..

Definitely call a local dealership and inform them of this. If they do not do anything, you can always contact the Corporate office for assistance...

 

I had my front brake pads replaced and the rotors resurfaced at 14k. Rear brakes were still fine. Infiniti is covering the bill since the they issued a bulletine about their brakes pads wearing out prematurely. Just bring you G to the dealer and tell them your brakes don't sound right or they screetch(sp?) and they the should replace it for you. I believe it's good for 3 years or 35k miles, which ever comes first.

 

Dropped my car off yesterday and just called for an update. They replaced the rear brakes, but not the fronts. It's just under 13k miles and is a non-brembo '03. Anyone else think it's wierd the rears need replacing but not the front?

 

If the way you drive causes VDC to activate often, it can wear out your rear pads in a hurry as the VDC activates the rear brakes to stop wheelspin. I left VDC on for my first track day and was surprised to find that at the end of the day my rear pads were worn more than the fronts.

 

hahahahahahahahaha! although I know a local Midas that are
family owned and do a rather good, clean work. (no, I do my mods by
myself, I don't use Midas).

 

16 months 26,000 miles. Had front brakes put on yesterday. Under warranty non Brembos.

 

but brakes still need to last a decent amount of time... if they wear excessively it is under warrantee(spelling)?

 

holy cow? haha, ok ok laughs aside.

1. my point was where do you guys get brembo brake pads replaced?

2. under what condition are brake bads and rotors ever done at a dealership for free? i thought it was a wearable not-covered item.

3. what's wrong with getting oil changes done at jiffy lube? I'm being serious. does everyone do their own maintenance? or is the dealership oil much better than jiffy lube? as long as you request the right type of oil...shouldn't i be fine?

 

The warranty applies to Automatics only....the extended warranty provided by Infiniti is 3yrs/36,000 miles.....
For any 03 owners who did not have it in place when they had their brakes replaced, they will reimbuse you if you provide them with the repair statement/bill......
