Brakes?/

I have an 02 I35. The brakes system acts a bit weird. (to me) When I start the car and first depress the brake to go in reverse or drive, it makes a sort of "farting" noise. (best way I can describe it) And the brake peddle feels weird. Any thoughts?

It could be a piston has gone bad on the caliper, and is almost to the point of freezing? So it makes a popping sound after sitting awhile. That's my guess.

What a putz! That's the best way I can describe the sound it makes. And if this is a NORMAL sound, than nissan really ****ed up all their cars. (which I doubt) So who's the dumbass now? Shut the **** up!
