So is it the OEM pad??? Alot of us are having the same squeak sound.
No other car i've own ever had this problem. (ran them all hard too!!!)
Is there on the market a better pad that fits the 07 G35s sedan?

The dealer turned them for free and agreed to replace them if this happens again before my warranty expires.
Since turning them, they've been fine, but I expect this to occur again.
The OEM rotors suck,plain and simple. Turning them will correct the shaking issue short term, but this will only occur again only quicker, as the rotors are now thinner than when they were new.
I'll have the dealer replace them when it's time, and I'll wait until I hit the lotto so I can pick up the BBK.

Bump: Finally replaced my pads at 26k miles, and the pads still had ~3/16th left. Am guessing I could have driven another couple thousand miles, but had some time today and have had the replacement pads for a while. This is with pretty serious brake use, so I'm happy with the life (and performance).
Easy job, although there were a couple of minor surprises (i.e. why is there an allen wrench bolt? And you need a box-end 14mm wrench, due to the giant bar in the way of the back lower bolts.
Used this bedding procedure, will probably do it once more.
