I don't understand the way Nissan is handling this at all.  I actually got the new heavier rotors installed on my second trip in there but only because they pushed it after I made it clear I wasn't going to take any more of their BS on this issue!!!  I have only had the new ones for a week or two and so far, so good.  They do feel quite different than the originals, so hopefully it is fixed permanently.  My one issue with Nissan's final fix is that they machined the rear rotors too after putting new pads on the rear.  Now the rear rotors are more likely to need replacing sooner and probably after the 36K mile warranty.  I told my dealer that I want new rotors on the rear now because of this.  We'll see what happens.  I have almost 14K miles on my 4x4 '04 SE CC.  This is looking like my last Nissan purchase as well.

I am willing to let a few things go, do to this Nissan's first entry in the full size market.  But I do believe that manufacturer's as a whole try to get it out the door, and leave the dealers and consumers to do their product testing and r&d. The as stated earlier I recommend these kits from A&P Racing. They have just replacement drilled rotors or the full bore kits. I have filed the parts change with my dealer, and Nissan. Nissan told me that would void the warranty on my front brakes, my response, " my life is more important." Other than the dealers being horrible here Columbia, and them trying to jack me out of 1000 dollars. I love my truck.

Ummm... I just got my truck...but I traded in a heavily modified tiburon www.newtiburon.com so I got around to learning most of the laws.  Google search "SEMA modification laws" or something to that effect. (theres also a word for word write up on newtiburon somewhere in the corporate section)  The car manufactures cannot void your "ENTIRE" warranty if you change a part. 

For example if you put on an intake and your transmission fails the intake would only void the stock air intake.   BUT if you put on an intake and then your MAF sensor goes out of wack then of course it will NOT be covered.  They basically have to prove that the part you installed on the vehicle caused the failure of the other part.

I don't know where the majority of users live that frequent the site but the majority of car dealerships/service dept. are very modification friendly down here in Florida (i live in Orlando)...one of the main reasons is becase we don't have any emmissions testing.  Some dealers think its cool as hell and don't care. 

also many ppl appologize for being long winded...f*ck it! talk as much as you want...you should see some of the posts on my old forums.  I loved that tiburon but it was time for something more "grown-up" I'm 21 now and I had the car since i was 17. 

lovin my new truck.

later.

Here is my letter to NissanUSA and their response.  Call me a sucker, but I purchased one today, 2005 Black LE Crew.  So far so good 93 miles
