All depends on your experience, driving style, weather, and the track.

As little as 15k miles is considered "normal" by Nissan...
Swapping to race pads for the track, and back to my OEM Brembo for the street, I now have close to 40k miles on mine and still have ~40% left.
I've changed front rotors 2 times already though... And I need a new set now.

You measure the rotors' thickness and change them when at the minimal. Or when they start to have a lot of surface cracks.
Minimum thickness for MY 2005 and before :
Front: 22mm (28.4mm Brembo)
Rear: 14mm (20.2mm brembo)

I think I'm going to get centric plain rotors from now on. I wear the StopTech's way to quickly.
