Thanks for the comments below, I returned to the dealership for the third time, and drove with a technician who said the wheel was shaking but tried to convince me that it wasn't bad, which is unacceptable of course. ANY WHEEL SHAKE ON THESE CARS IS UNACCEPTABLE unless you know you have bent the rim or something. So after that i insisted they check my rotors, since i was convinced over torqued my tires lugnuts, making the rotor off (they are super sensitive on the 370Z). They spun my rotors and road forced balanced again, that fixed the wheel shake while braking, and pretty much i can live with the steering now from 75-80 shake. The shake is there every now and then, but very very slight so i figured i'll stop fussing for now. So make sure they use the calibration on the Torque gun CORRECTLY or they will over torque your lug nuts and the wheel will shake even though the wheels are balanced. That is what i learned.
