2013 G37 IPL OEM Brakepads/Rotors
The brakepads and rotors that my local mechanic on weren't OEM even though he lied and said they are. Rusted fully in a week (rotors), and the pads after several months still squeak (mostly when reversing out of driveway).
What are the OEM parts for my model so I can order them and bring them to a dealership/reputable shop myself? Couldn't find it in the manual.

I would use RockAuto if I were you. When I changed out my pads and rotors, I used RockAuto and got some quality parts. Look under the "premium" or "performance" tabs and see which pad/rotor set is best for you. Be sure to check that it is for your IPL model.

Most mechanics usually refer to "OEM quality" as the suppliers are pretty generic for "economy" and "oem quality". Its usually only at the "premium" or "performance" level that you see really different characteristics (along with a massive price bump) and its not uncommon for one manufacturer to make options in all those categories.
that being said you referred to rust on the rotors. unless it has a coating on the hat all steel rotors rust. Most people just spray a clear coat or some colored paint on there. if you you don't want to do that just look for options that specify a coating of some sort...as a heads up even "OEM quality" rotors with coatings may show signs of rust. It in no way affects performance. its strictly cosmetic. Some higher quality rotors will rust in a matter of hours if the car is sitting in the rain because of the high carbon content in the steel which promptly disapears when you drive the car.
the only place to get "OEM" (i.e. Nissan branded) v(vs. "OEM quality") is the dealership.
the squeaking can usually be remedied by proper bedding in which may have to be redone occasionally depending on your driving habits but may be affected by the type of OEM quality pad used, go for a ceramic pad if you want quieter pads (this will likely be at the expense of aggressiveness).

That's a great explanation and all but that doesn't explain how the "OEM" rotors (the one that came with the vehicle) never showed a single sign of rust after 48k miles. After a week or so, these "OEM Quality" rotors are FULLY rusted/brown.
So let me reformat my question.
How do I identify which rotors came with the vehicle and where can I buy them? Same with pads, as the Akebono squeak is very annoying.
