Alright, I just got my Z not long ago.

Its an 06 Grand Touring model with 23k miles on it. (Brembo brakes of course)

When I brake lightly, it squeaks slightly. Does this mean I have to change out the brakes?

Approximately what mileage does brembo's go out and what all has to be replaced?

Any info will be appreciated!

 

For some reason my brakes sqeeked after i bought it...i checked the pads and they were in perfect condition....i put some brake lubricant on them and they never sqeeked since!

 

I cant tell without looking at the brake pads. If you are concerned, remove and inspect the pads. Do you see a metal “wear clip” that is contacting the rotor?

 

Does it stop? If so dont worry about it B'bos cost too much anyway.

 

Best thing you can do first is inspect the pads. Brembos for the Z are known to be sometimes noisy, mine were for awhile when i bought the car. Apply some anti-squeal on the backs of the pads if they dont.

 

Doesn't your expert certified tech measure [look at] your pads every 90 days while he is draining oil? Dealership techs are always looking for warranty and customer paid work to recommend.

 

My brembo pads lasted around 35k miles, and rotors lasted 60k. Instead of getting OEM Brembo rotors at $500ea, I went to tirerack.com and got non-oem Brembo slotted rotors at about $1000 for all 4!

 

awesome. thanks for all the help and comments.

Should I be going to the dealership to see if my motor is consuming oil? If so, how often should I be going in there?

 

sorry about off topic, I just finished oil consumption test, you take it to the dealer every 1000 miles for them check oil level. I'm waiting to see if NNA is going to get me a new motor (used over 2qts in 2000 miles) GL with your test

 

I see I see. Do I need to make an appointment for this crap? Mine already has been replaced once and I would like to get one more replaced before my warranty runs out if there are any oil consumptions.

 

I just drove in and told them I was burning oil and they topped off the oil and told me to come back in a 1000 miles, did that twice after the first visit
