Life of oem brake pads
About how long is the life of the oem pads? I'm at 40k and as far as I know they haven't been changed before, and they seem ok....however I think i'll be changing them out soon for some with a little more bite.

nissan uses hitachi brake pads when the vehicle came off the assembly line. those things are solid and can go quite a while before needing to be replaced. like others have stated the rears will need to be replaced sooner than the fronts. in addition if you don't brake like a bat out of hell i think you can probably hit 60k on the front pads with no problem.

Those pad were still on the vehicle when I traded it in at 171796 miles for my 2012 G37S 6 speed.
When I traded in my 2012 G37S last February it still had the original factory OEM pads at 94444 miles
At one of my recent oil changes at the dealer as part of their vehicle inspection prior to trade in I requested the thickness of my brake pads and they still had 8mm left on them
When driving a manual I downshift a lot using the engine and transmission to do a lot of the vehicle braking which vastly extends the life of brake pads.
