I'll post up what they do this time, as I doubt there is enough material left to turn them a 3rd time (They had to turn one of them twice the last time it was warped so bad, and removed a very visible amount).

I would NEVER turn the rotors 3 times... Who turned them? You or Nissan? Somehow the rotors are covered under warranty... Never knew that, but I know people who have gotten them changed for warping

I was able to solve mine by a few 90-5 brakings done right after each other and then cruising for a while afterwards. Seems to wipe the rotors clean and they are smooth afterward as long as you don't stand on the brakes after.

... What you're describing isn't warped rotors... Because hard braking won't take the waviness out
On a side note, resurfacing WARPED rotors has gotta be THE DUMBEST thing I have ever heard of. It's a common misconception that you can fix warped rotors with resurfacing... This is complete BULL... They get fixed for a period of time, but once you get them hot enough, they'll rewarp, and even sooner
Reason: when you resurface them you're taking out the hills and leveling them with the valleys. No one takes into account that now the thickness of the rotor fluctuates over the entire disc, and the canes aren't straight either, so once the metal expands due to heat, it doesn't expand uniformly, and you're screwed
