Brake Dust.... EVERYWHERE!

not every nismo came with the pads, it was an option. look at your window sticker. they are better pads, just makes alot of mess.

Ok I will take a look when i get home.

Just a thought but maybe you have a caliper that is sticking. That would create more brake dust then normal.

I looked on the sticker. Just says Nissan Sport Brakes... Seems to be a bit better with the cold weather here in CT but still...

I get the same thing, I would say it's normal. Looks black on my white nismo too. Just dust/road grime gathering from turbulence. and by the way, I have the stock nismo pads too and they do have brake dust, just like any other pads.

take off the cats and see how much crap accumulates on your rear bumper!

With my Nismo I get alot of brake dust all over the rims but not any on the rear bumper. Id say its dirt and dust from the road

Iknow what you mean! It drives me crazy. I have the same issue. I have a 2010 PW 370z nismo. I could wash and wax it all day, drive it for 10 minutes and only my rear bumper gets dirty. I know its not the road debris because I have driven it on clean streets and its not dust. It looks to be black soot/carbon from the exhaust. At first I thought it was my rear tires wearing quickly (they are at the wear bar already) but I ruled out the tires. I don't think there is a fix for this so I guess I have to live with it. Just out of curiousity what shape are your rear tires in?

You should have seen my car at ZdayZ. It was a completely color red from all the dust my carbotechs dump out.

Rochester, eh? You should check out Great Lakes Z Club | News and events for the Great Lakes Z car club We've got a fun/diverse bunch up here.

no brake dust issue whatsoever here! if the dust gets to be a real problem, you can always go with the Hawk Ceramic Brake pads (I've been told by Mike the Powdercoater that they don't produce as much dust)

more dust more stopping power

Keep an eye on the thread here or the club website. We just finalized a date (6/25) for our Street Legal Customs meet/BBQ.
