First Problem With my 370Z

Judging from the lack of posts from other people about this, it is either driving style, a one-off problem with the car, or (my guess) the dealer doing the repairs is somehow screwing up the job. OP, have you tried another dealer?

What is there to screw up? The problem was solved for 7,000 miles the first time, 3,000 miles the second, and I can feel it starting to come back after a few hundred, now. Slotted rotors heat brake pads up faster than normal blanks. I think the SPORT pads from Nissan may just be total junk, or I got a bad set, or something.

I have no idea how someone messes up a pad/rotor change, but dumber things have been done at dealers. Maybe you've got a bad set of pads. Are you still on the original set of pads? If this was a systemic Nissan issue there would be far more reports of warped/uneven rotors, and there's just a few. Are the pads being bedded in correctly after turning or replacing the rotors? I'm grasping at straws to find a reason why this keeps happening to you.

The first time, the GTR tech bedded the pads in for me just like they do the GT-R's, using a heat-gun to verify temp, etc. It lasted 7,000 miles, roughly.

As to bedding, well, I've changed pads on some of my other cars without even bothering to turn the rotors and just drove it like normal and it did fine. Stopped a bit poorer until the pads conformed to the grooves worn in the 100K+ mile old rotors, but eventually it did fine. Tens of thousands of miles and many aggressive turns later, no shaking.
