hey guys I need some help I have a 2012 g37x sedan and my brake rotors are very bad out of shape pulsating steering wheel so I went on ebay to check for front and rear pads and rotor kit/deal/combo well they have them but nothing for the 2012 g37x sedan but they do have for the 2011 g37x sedan my question is can I get the 2011 set and install them on my 2012 are they the same size one year different regular caliper

 

The rotors are the same, you have a 320mm front rotor and a 307mm rear rotor.
I'd check RockAuto Parts Catalog for Centric rotors and Stoptech Street pads, the price should be similar but the quality should be much better (depending on what Ebay set you saw).

 

Im looking at the ebay ones as well for my G. There is a set there for 250$ for rotors all around and pads. I got these brands before for my Murano and i havent had any problems with them. Ive brake hard and pulled a boat all summer long and they held up 100%. This is for brake motive ebay though, im not sure about other ebay brands.

 

Centric makes great rotors. I've used them on numerous vehicles with great success. Stoptech pads are good as are Hawks. Whatever you get, be sure to bed them well. I'd personally be cautious about brake parts from ebay. A brake failure can be life altering.

 

Centric OEMs brake pads and rotors for others, including Stoptech: http://www.centricparts.com/

You can go onto Amazon and pick up a set of baseline front/rear Centric pads and rotors for the non-Sport model insanely cheap. I used these on my 2004 G sedan and never had any issues.

Personally, I would take a chance on unknown eBay brands for things like speaker enclosures and cosmetic body parts, but not brake hardware.

 

^^^^This!

 

Don't buy ebay rotors, they are made out of poor quality recycled steel from china. They will warp and or crack pretty easily. Not worth saving a few bucks when you will be putting your life at risk.

 

I never thought of it like that. I just figured i could save a couple hundred bucks but not at the cost of not possible braking because of a failure.

 

What kind of brake pads should I be looking for if I got a 2011 G37 Sport Sedan with the upgraded brakes?

I bought the car at 53k miles, and its currently at 54,200 right now. The brakes are squeaking and there is some pulsating, so I assuming it is time for new brake pads. My rotors seem fine but Ill have my mechanic look at it (not dealership).

Not looking to break my wallet... But someone on this forum (think Falkor) mentioned he got his brake pads and rotors replaced under warranty by saying there is a "pulsating" feeling when breaking. Should I go this route or actually buy new ones. I will probably install the brake pads my self unless my rotors need to be shaved / swapped, than Ill bring it into my mechanic.

I just changed my oil today and the oil was black as ****, not to mention, it was overfilled. The previous owner DID NOT go to the dealership once to do any of its maint, not even for warranty. So we have no records of the cars maint but it seems to run fine.

Changed oil today with Mobil1 Synthetic 5W-30 (5 1/4 Gallons)
I'm looking for brake pads and also, I would like to reporgram my cars ECU as it LAGS hard.. Especialyl at around 50-60 and I try to gas it. I hate how the gears seem to not know what gear to be in.

WELL ANYWAYS, sorry for going a little off topic. Looking for brake pads for a 2011 G37 Sport Sedan. THANKS!

 

Check this thread, I posted the pad #s at the bottom reply. They're a nice upgrade from OEM pads and this thread is also about the big S brake setup

get these

 

 

I recently had the pulsating issue with my Akebonos. car has 56k now, rotors were resurfaced and pads replaced at 40k when I bought the car.

+1 on the Centric Premiums and Stoptech Streets ( just picked up this combo getting delivery Friday ) and threw in some SS lines from Z1.

You can check out the centrics website below @

WELCOME TO CENTRIC PARTS - Centric Parts

for those that are not aware but Centric premiums are what Stoptech & PowerSlot use for their Slotted, Drilled and Drilled and slotted rotors.

Check the website for correct model for your ride. FYI make sure to click the # listed on the part # to show you more purchasing options.
