I saw your car on John's Restoration YouTube.

Munky--I thought there were problems with the Brembos, so Nissan stopped using them? Something about wearing out faster than regular pads.

TNC- I think the problem with the brembos was replacements. the dealer wanted 500 ea. for rotors and people were complaining about that and the brake dust plus the fact that they were not covered under warranty

Well I googled it, and it lead me back to this site. Apparently, what you said was right. However, another member said he just replaced the pads with a different brand, and he was fine. Is that a quick, easy fix for the Brembo problem?

And how much does a used set usually run? I'd really love to have the G37 Akebonos, but that's out of my budget right now, and I don't have any added power, so I don't need to stop that much more faster.

People cried that they brakes make to much noise for a high end car, and the fact the dealerships were raping people on brake maintenance. Nissan keep using Brembo's on the end of the 350Z.

It's a 2004 Nissan Titan SE Crew Cab
Miles: 96K
Price 15K OR BEST OFFER. (I need to sell the Truck FAST, so make a offer!) Why go to the dealer and pay all the Dealer's BS Fees they charge for selling you a truck.

I can do your brakes if you buy the parts before hand. If your Transmission is an 6MT, I can do that too.

If it's a auto, I would go to the nearest Nissan Dealership.

A fluid change, there should be no need to do a flush unless the fluid never changed and your passing 100K miles. I can do brake lines also.

Make sure you get Nissan MT oil or something with that meets API GL-4 spec.
