Mine looks like the photo above. But I notice that in the pictures on the Infiniti web site and in the brochure the lighting for the clock has a blue tint rather than white. Anybody have a blue light for the clock in their car, or are they all white?

There is some good reading on brake warp here:

Yes they are all Ice blue backlit, along with the 07&08 purple, red, and white insturment panel,, the 03 thru 06's were amber and red... quite poss the best lighted dash, and most handsome insturments in almost all cars...

I would think that the dealer should replace the rotor as opposed to turning it (smoothing it out) since it is a new car.

I confirmed they (the clock and the ring around the navigation controller dial) do light up when it's dark and the auto-lights go on. However, in the daytime when I turned the lights fully on manually, I could not tell they were on at all becuase of the sunlight. I'd think they'd glow brighter like the dash gauge cluster. Oh well, might be better next week when I get tint.

I def. feel the brakes are strange and will take back to the dealer- think I might have warped rotors or something. Vibration noticeable on almost all stops or even slowing down from say 35-20, so that's not right.

If I'm taking it in, do you know if there are any dealer service level adjustments (electronic or mechanical) they can do to reduce power steering assist? I feel like I'd like it to be a little "tighter" but didn't know if anything can be done about that? I'm sure I'll get used to it. Loving the car overall!

The rotors were a big enough problem on the 5th gen Maximas that Nissan issued a TSB on them. I hope I don't have the same issues with the G.

I had a 2k3 Max, and sure enough the rotors were pretty lame. In the G though, have never had a problem even during the track day - no brake fade, no shudder. Maybe it's a batch quality control thing?

I'm just shy of 24k miles on mine, and there's quite a bit of shudder, especially at higher speeds. I'll have it back to the dealer in a couple weeks, and will have them check it out.
