First Problem With my 370Z

Chuck33079

Yeah, something is flat out broken somewhere in there. I'm really curious as to what ends up being the culprit if everything was checked. I just can't see it being heat related with the short commute. I'm at a loss. If everything else is in spec and you're not dragging a piston, what else is there? It's not the rotors or pads themselves since you've swapped them with aftermarket with no change in outcome.

Brake dust appears even on both front rims, and no blue spots or any other signs of heat are present on either rotor.

I really hope they just buy you out so you can be done with it.

I know I wish Nissan worked that way

I hope they do, but I have serious doubts. I have a feeling that this is going to be a nightmare for both myself, and Nissan.

I'm assuming they've checked out the ABS computer and all the other electronics as well. We're running out of parts it could be.

They did not say, but the ABS light is off, and it doesn't feel to be pulsing the pedal at any point.

The ABS pulse on this car is the weakest I've ever felt. I honestly didn't know I was in ABS on the track until I ran the pads down to the backing plate and could feel the tiny tiny little bumps on EVERY stop.

ImportConvert

Well, maybe so, but wouldn't the dash light up? I've seen/felt it it provoke a bit on gravel, so I figured I would notice it.

Regardless, my pads are not being worn down. My factory pads came off but a few hundred miles ago, and had tons of meat left on them, even after the dealer shaved them previously.

Chuck33079

Could it be, and it just gets mistaken for the other vibrations coming from the rotors?

Oddly the pedal doesn't really vibrate that bad at all. I'd say about 25% as much as the wheel, unless my Piloti driving shoes somehow insulate that and nothing else, lol

I've felt ABS before, and there is nothing like that going on.

Chuck33079

If the unit was bad, there's no guarantee the light would go on.

It does go on when I provoked ABS on a gravel road not long ago, but I don't have a clue, or I would have told them how to fix it, so I'm not in a position to debate it, really. I do know the stock pads were not very worn down at all after 20K miles, just glazed.

Chuck33079

I'm just going down the list of parts. The electronic stuff was just about the only part of the system that hasn't been replaced.

I have no idea. Dealer has no idea. Nissan Corporate has been contacted. The only other variable is the driver, and I'm sorry, you don't get 17K + miles out of the factory Potenza's and have the same amount of pad left on the front as you do the rear pads, if you are beating on the car excessively enough for it to legitimately be the driver's fault. Especially warping them 4 times in 22,XXX miles.

So I have no clue what it is.
