Let me explain - in my last few cars (last two were Maximas), I replaced brake pads pretty frequently, due to "spirited driving..." At a guess, a set of pads would last 25k or so, although the last set of Hawk pads have lasted longer.

In the G it's even more spirited, including a track day, so after 16k miles I bought replacement pads. Today wandered out to the garage and pulled a wheel off, ready to replace the pads (rotors look great).

And there's still half of the pads left! This may not be surprising to you, but based on my experience I'm thrilled! Gotta love the G brakes

Apparently I've been babying it too much...

 

It's too make up for the tire tread life

 

wow you scared me...i thought u were going to rip it to pieces

 

I'm planning on tracking my car at the end of the month, so I checked my pads last week. To my amazement I had 7mm remaining in front and 6mm in the rear. This is with 15K miles and a couple of track days on these pads. I've also been known to do some spiritual driving.

Here's the specifications on the pads and rotors for the sport and non-sport brake systems if anyone's interested....

 

LOL, that's because you probably heard about the original G35 brakes..........

 

my sentra ser specv pads were this way. numerous 100+mph slowdowns and several spirited (on par of road racing segments in the rural areas) after 30k miles. had 40% left.


sounds like the G pads are the same way!

 

Gotta love the G37S brake even more!

But yeah, the sport model brake is awesome!

 

i gotta agree! i bought my front brake pad last week and cant wait to install them. im at 20k and finally decided to install these today.
what a shock, turns out i still have a little more than 1/2 left compared to the new ones. sport brake ftw!

 

I have an 05 6mt sport and with 55k I have 8mm in the front and a little over 4mm in the rear (time to change the rears soon).

 

The pads may be lasting a long time.

But, mine squeak like a ****. For the last 8k miles or so, under very light braking, they'll squeak probably 1/4 of the time. Very annoying.

 

Mine lasted 39k and it's still fine!
I'll have to see how much I have left... I should just change it.

 

Wife has 26k miles on her 07G and her brakes are still good!

 

HAHA i replaced all 4 of mine already and i think i have around 13k miles

 

That's the brake pedal on the left, not the clutch! man how do you burn them up like that?

 

I have no idea, and my tires aren't that bad. I guess less canyon driving for me now
