Mine don't dust AT ALL! No grabbies, no wobblies, just stops like you would expect them to. I haven't tried them on the track, don't intend to, but I am very happy with them. Only nit pic is the silver color doesn't show up well.

Yes, it looks like Infiniti got it right this time!

Um.............. I am saying I can't pay for the replacement of rotors and brakes but I dont see all the other cars that has similar braking power has to change out its rotors and pads every 3-6 months............. I have changed my pads and rotors basically every 3-6 months...........i dont hear any of that from M3 owners...............

People need to learn how to drive w/ these Nissan breaks Slamming on these breaks doing 130 MPH will do it just about everytime, so will driving through water when the breaks are hot. Turning them will NOT solve the issue as a warp is a warp.

I had a Max 03 and had the rotors done 2x. However, it has EVERYTHING to do with the guy doing the work. The last time I had em done, my local guy did it with Nissan parts and they were fine till the day I sold the car ...

As for the G35x - too early for me to tell, but I would figure it won't be a problem.

If your wearing out your brake this quick then you need to change your driving style. Mine went 25K before they needed to be changed.

ceramic pads maybe?

Well, not exactly changed the pads every 3 months but I have to get them checked every 3-6 months because they always squeak like crazy and it wears out pretty fast. I think I have gone through at least 4 sets of brakes and rotors now and my car is a 2003.5 with 50k km........

Sorry for the confusion.... but at this rate it is still not acceptable.... I don't drive very hard at all and I am light on the brakes too......

I take it pretty easy on my brakes....68K miles on her now. I am on my third set of front rotors and pads, 2nd set of rear rotors and pads. They just don't last very well. I am also a member of the class action lawsuit against Infiniti. No luck yet on the lawsuit...

Don't speak so quick, I said the same thing. It will be for sure since it's an '04! And it's not a matter of learning the brakes, I was very alert when it came to stopping my '04, always tried to stop smoothly whenever possible, but those brakes would grab as soon as you barely touched the pedal it was very hard to do, still had to have my fronts replaced at my 15k service with just under 3mm left on the pads, so unless most of your driving is highway, or you drive where there's no traffic....plus you do have the brake warranty for a reason, it's a wide spread problem, the quick wear. And don't drive through water? There is no way you can avoid that except not to drive in the rain, I have NEVER had a rotor warp on any car, and I always drive in the rain!
