Default Whats wrong with my car!? does anyone know?

Whats up guys my car has been at Performance Nissan for more than a week now. So this is whats going on when you apply the brakes and the car slows down it feels like the brakes slip and a loud springing noise is made. The people at Performance Nissan Have been really helpful and all but its kind of frustrating when they can't figure out the problem. This is the second dealer I go to. I guess I just miss my Z. I see Z while I'm driving my rental and I get sad. What do you guys think it is? I thought it was the ABS but the ABS module was already changed and also the engine control module was changed and still the same problem. I was supposed to get my car back today.

Are you using the stock rotors or are they slotted and drilled, and are you using aftermarket pads? I still think its the brake pads, but I am sure they said it wasnt by now.

Let us know what they find out.

I'm gonna guess that you have a sticking caliper or pad or something. When you brake, the caliper pops loose and bangs the pad against the rotor, like ringing a bell.
