03/04 has known brake wear issues and that is why Infiniti offer a 3 year 36k coverage on those brakes. I hope you got those brake replace for free. The 05 has not been on the market long enough to exhibit the same problem but supposly Infinity switch to a different brakes to remedy this problem. I have 05 and test drove the 04, and the brakes on the 04 fills much stronger and stop on a dime on slight pressure. The 05 brakes needs a hard stomp to stop but does stop very fast if u apply full pressure on the pedal.

I have an O4 and have had the brakes changed at about 14k under the mfg warranty. I have about 23K now and the brakes are starting to act up again. Is the extended warranty by the factory for 36 mo or 36K good for only one change or will they cover for the brakes again. If not, I want to look into aftermarket parts. Does anyone have any suggestions. I'm looking or low dust, no squeaks, and longer wear.

05s better not have the break life issue, that's one of the major reasons why I never gave in and pulled the trigger on a used 03/04! There's definitely a world of difference in the feel and "grabbiness" issue being resolved ... I'm not sure anybody's had their 05 long enough to know about pad life after 15-20K miles. As a betting man, I'm guessing this issue was resolved, especially considering what a major snafu it's been on the earlier models

2005 g35x break dust
I have had my 2005 g35x for about 2 months now with 2.3k miles on it. It produces TONS of break dust. I am a bit on a zaino high right now and am super **** about keeping my car clean, but I feel that the break dust is way above average compared to other sedans. I'm hoping I get about 20k miles on my breaks though. The breaking on this car is amazing.

Where do you look. I have no clue what BREAK dust means?
