Let's play the "Diagnose the brake problem" game.
18k miles on the rotors and pads. Passenger side rotor and pads worn normally. Driver's side...not so much.
Pic is the backside of both rotors.
EDIT: BTW...these are iRotors rear discs

Wonder if I could get mine replaced under warrantee???
I'm over 60k now and I doubt the calipers are covered under powertrain. lol Though Infiniti's service kicks major @ss.
Oh well, calipers are pretty cheap to come by. I will have to repaint them though.

holy crap Tim! if you need a ride to work I could take you...just couldnt pick you up. Im surprised they cant get a caliper in until Friday. Isnt there a distribution center right near Chicago?
Are you going to brembo blanks in the back now?

I had hoped to catch you at the counter, after I had thought about it for a minute I remembered seeing that name somewhere before (on here). I was going to ask you at the counter if you were a member on here. Anyways def. call me if you need parts, I can give you the best deal anywhere on factory stuff.

This car is a sled. It's almost like you basically need to keep the car in passing gear to stay up to freeway speeds. Not to mention the handling is HORRIBLE.
This is going to be a long couple of days driving this POS.

So Germain called me this morning saying that they are almost done with my car repairs. The caliper was replaced, but they said something about having issues bleeding the brakes since there is no pad left on that side. I mentioned that I'm buying new pads and already have new rotors, so I could just bring in the new rotors and have them swap them out and put on the new pads and she said that was fine, but they'd charge me $140 TO SWAP PADS AND ROTORS!!! No way, so now I'm waiting to hear when my car will be done so I can put it back together myself in my garage in 20 minutes for free.

So, I get the car back today after it's been at Nissan since Monday and this is what I see when I get home. A big scrape in my brand new wheels and they installed the wrong lugnuts. How the hell do you install the wrong lugnuts when they're sitting right next to the car? I'm so pissed off right now. I called and spoke with a service tech who is apparently registered on OhioNissans, and he's going to follow up with the tech that was taking care of me as well as the service manager on Monday.
