Picked up my 2010 Nismo from fort Lauderdale Nissan , it had a complete brake overhaul. New rotors, pads , brake fluid flush, mobil 1 syn oil change.
The day before checking the tire pressure ,I noticed the back rotors had deep groves. Fronts very worn too. I always get her serviced at the dealer I guess they underestimated how much brakes were left. They did give me a free loaner ,so that helped. The total price....$1112.00. The most I ever paid for a brake job ,but it is very much like new again

I guess y'all haven't had a complete brake job like that yet. These nismos arent a civic. okay I guess you can save doing it yourselves ,which I dont have the means. Price it ,it is normal for the parts ,labor at the dealer. I dont want the headache of some chump doing a crappy job.

In my experience, Dealer = some chump doing a crappy job

Not to mention the outrageous dealer mark ups. What did they charge you for new rotors? I know guys that buy $59 blanks at the local auto parts store to use on the track.

It's a brake job. A Nismo is no more difficult than a Civic. Parts are just bigger. Sure, DIY is going to save you some $$$. But charging over $1K for a brake job is price gouging

Ordered Z1 poly engine mounts to go with my Z1 poly trans mount. Brake pads from B2autodesigns came in, so I can install my 2 piece rotors this weekend. I also changed out the orange turn signal bulbs in the headlights out for chrome ones like I did in the rear. Looks much cleaner imho.
