How long before you got new brake pads?

vibrating steering wheel = improper bedding or warped rotor

if the pads/rotors are relatively new and you're getting that, its probably improper bedding

Think it was about 5k miles when I changed mine. They's still sitting on the shelf in a box looking practically new.

I would have to agree the Nissan OEM brake pads will last a long time a specially if you are conservative with the brake petal. Only time I really see the Nissan OEM brake pads being replaced early is if you are very hard on your brakes,have problems with your rotors or calipers,and if your brake pads don’t bed in properly. On my last 370Z I replaced the front and rear brake pads at 58k miles and there was not much life left on the brake pads.

New pads and new rotors would fix the vibrating steering wheel, correct?
