I didnt realize how far that was... I ended up going to west covina nissan. I am getting a diagnostic check done on my car to see what the problem is. I dont trust the nissan dealer up here in Victorville, so thats why im willing to drive a distance.

hey guys, Update!!! I finally got this problem fixed. Turns out is has nothing to do with the drilled rotors or pads. I took it all the way to west covina nissan to get a diagnostic check and they said I needed to replace my ABS actuator (brain unit) becuase it was going out. (the vibration jutter noise ended being the abs). They said it was gonna cost 1700.00 to do the job for me. I told them forget it, and took my car back home. I asked my dad and Ed from precision nissan for some advice on the problem and they both recommended cleaning in and around the abs brake sensor. So I took off the front wheels, took off the sensors, and cleaned the sensor and inside the hole where the sensor does it's job. There was some grime inside the hole and I cleaned most of it out. Took the Z for a ride and no more problem!!!! Brakes and ABS are perfectly fine!!!! So if I replaced the ABS Brain like the delear recommended, there still would of been a vibration from the ABS!!!!!!!

Thank You ED!!!!

So how was it started with? I have this odd vibration thing and would like to know if I have the same problem as yours. How do you clean the ABS actuator and where is it located?

no, you dont clean the abs actuator (that is located under the hood)... that has nothing to do with it. You have to go down to the wheel and clean the ABS sensor behind your rotors. There is only one small bolt you have to take out and the sensor comes right out. Then you get a rag with some cleaning agent and put it in the hole that the sensor came out of. Make sure you rotate the rotor while you stick your finger/cloth in the hole so you clean the all the surface. It is really easy to do. I thought it would be more complicated. Anyways, I hope I explained it a little better for you. I wish I had some pics to show you.
