In this video I demonstrate how to properly replace the front brake pads on a 2003-2006 Infiniti G35 or Nissan 350Z (nearly identical procedure). This video shows the process on a 2006 G35 sedan. This is an easy task if you have the required tools, and should only take you 30-60 minutes.
I am using Akebono ceramic pads, which I have been using on my family's vehicles for the past 8 years with great success. Low dusting, no noise, good longevity, and reasonable initial cold bite if bedded in properly.
Torque specs:
- 18-22 ft-lbs for front slide pin bolts
- 113 ft-lbs for front caliper bracket bolts (you shouldn't need to touch these if only replacing pads)
- 80 ft-lbs for lug nuts
Be sure to properly bed-in your brake pads after installation, especially if you are not replacing or resurfacing the rotors at the same time. A proper bed-in will not only ensure the greatest stopping power, but will also reduce the likelihood of a condition commonly mistaken as "warped rotors." If you are interested in the details, the below article form StopTech does a great job explaining the importance of bedding in your brake pads.
