Update: They are turning the rotors. Next time this happens I will just replace both front rotors and consider it "normal wear". At 30K miles, I won't have problems with this, it's just at 10K and then again at 17K miles...wtf!? If I can get 200% more life from my tires and brake pads than my brake-rotors, that's just jacked up. That would be the equivalent of warping your rotors twice every track day that you go through tires, if you tracked this POS. Seriously, nice car, but screw Nissan, I'm going to have to stick with American from now on, the mechanical insufficiency of the car becomes more and more clear to me the longer I own it. It's far nice and better than my G20, but those Asians and I, we just don't think the same. Every time I see how something is put together on the car I want to pull my hair out, it's all backwards, and the results seem to suck except in the interior, which they really got right other than the poor panel isolation that causes a million and one squeaks.

Give me a car that I can take to work and home 3-4 days out of the week that won't warp its rotors. Then we can talk. Seriously. Cannot believe more people don't have issues, as I really don't beat on my stuff. (OEM tires lasting 17K miles should be sufficient evidence of that).


Jesus. I need to just sell this thing, but it does look sexy and until it breaks again it performs plenty well for what I want. Total love/hate. I think the next car will be a 2015 style mustang GT. Great engine, and allegedly they are fixing the suspension. Or maybe a CPO C7 corvette (did the "first time buyer hit" on GM, not again, lol!). Spring Mountain has people beat the crap out of even the base Grand Sport 'vettes for 12K miles on the track and I didn't once set foot in one there that had warped rotors. This is in literal 100*+ Vegas summer heat. There is NO EXCUSE for how my car is breaking. NONE.

I drive it spiritedly to work and home? You know what, there are exactly 5 corners that I can take at a speed of 50mph or greater on the 13 mile drive to work (I rarely drive it elsewhere). There are only 2 places that I decelerate from about 65 to a stop, only one of which is within 2-3 miles of one of the corners. It can't take that? Well screw that, then. It's a piece of **** and that's all there is to it. You find some other excuse for this bitchcar. I'm done making excuses for its flaws. It has great lines, amazing interior, awesome engine (IMO), and decent handling for its breed, but the brakes warping every 7-10K, and the power-steering pump whining like an 80's monte carlo, I just cannot excuse the brakes, and the PS pump is annoying.

Either way, the base package seems like it might be a better car. Maybe the little bitty calipers won't be so mean to the weak little rotors on the base car and it can wheeze its way to work and back without ******** the bed.

Seriously irritated with the fact that you guys somehow think this is normal. I just don't BELONG in the ninny crowd that thinks my drive to work is "hard on the car" to this point. Hard would be tail of the dragon every Sunday on R-compound tires. Not my 5 turns, 2 stops from above 65, and 13 miles.
