04 6MT Sedan, front and rear pads were worn down to 1mm at the 30,000 mile service. The dealer repalced the pads and turned the rotors under warranty.

2005 G35x

Front rotors resurfaced at 6,000 miles

Front pads and rotors replaced at 7,500 miles

Front and rear pads and rotors replaced at 10,000 miles (should have been done sooner but infiniti consumer affairs jerked me around for a while)
I've got a 6MT with 10,000 miles and my brakes look almost new

Actually I had my front brake pads replaced and front rotors turned at 14k miles about a year ago. And yes although my mileage is not over but it has been three and a half years(it expires by three year after the first in-service day), so I don't think I could get it done for free ........

Had front pads/rotors and rear pads only replaced for the first time under warranty at 31,500 on my late 04 sedan. Supposedly the fronts had over 50% pad left and the rears had 75% left. But I have a long road trip coming up and wanted them changed out without risk of going over 36K miles. Front rotors were only slightly dished. Rears still looked pristine. So compared to most, I guess I was getting real good wear. I drive about 50 miles a day, with 44 miles of that being freeway miles. They said when I get back they'll replace the rear rotors for free if needed.

Forgot to mention these new pads don't feel as grabby. I wonder if they improved the pads.

I'm at 13000 miles and my squeek indicator has started to go off. Called my dealer and they only replace if there is 2mm or less of meat on the pads.

Brake Pads replaced under warranty!!!!
I did not you could do that? Isn't this considered to be a wear and tire item?

I replaced my pads myself at 36K with Ferodo. The OEM still had lots of life but I didn't like the way it was holding

On my '04, at 15k, my fronts were down to just under 3mm, so they were replaced, and it's not my driving, I have always gotten a minimum of 40 out of front brakes on every disc brake vehicle I have owned. BTW, glad I got the '05, no black wheels even after two weeks!
The wear greatly depends upon which brakes you have. I have an 03 6MT coupe, and I'm still on my first set of Brembo's at ~41K miles. My wife had an 03 5AT coupe (OEM), and she had to replace hers at 15K. Seems like the non-Brembos are just really soft. I'm sticking with my Brembo's since they've been great so far, but if you have the OEM ones you might want to think about changing to somebody else.

Around 27,500 miles so far on my 03 G35 sedan. Replace front rotors once and front pads twice. Don't remember about the rear ones.

How long are the brakes suppose to last on these cars? Mine have 24k and I think my rotors are starting to warp.
