i got some track rays from another member all was ok got them on at 12k'ish--- i have 15800 and my brake pad are gone. did i do something wrong . the wheels are on the correct places.

is there something that needed to be done when switching?

all of a sudden all kinds of noises even when not on brakes just driving.

 

Are they the stock tires also? If they are, make sure the 225's are up front and 245's in the rear. Ensure the arrows on the tires are facing the correct way. They are one-way directional tires.

I have Track Wheels and have had no problems.

Advice, might be to take it to a tire shop and let them look at it. Might be your brakes though. I have had brakes last 70,000 miles, but it all depends on the driver and how he uses the brakes.

 

Have you been driving hard? I think the average life of the stock pads on the Z are between 15k-20k it seems like.

I have Track Wheels and have had no problems.

if the car came w/ rays then why would you think that rays in place of enth. wheel would be the same

 

if you did not torque the wheels correctly your breaks can be affected check all your lugs 80 lb feet is the correct torque spec

 

i'll check that thanks

 

the wheels where torqued at 80lbs.

(1) any one had ANY problems going from 17" stock to the 18" rays?

(2) does any know what the story is w/ the G35 get a warrenty extention( to 35,000) on there brake pad ?

 

G35 brake problem? anyone !!!!!!!

 

Your mileage is normal for brake wear.

My Enthuis. Brakes gave out on me at around 12k.

Our brakes suck. Switch to hawks. Should get alot more life out of them.

 

Brakes are not covered under warranty. They are a wear item just as the clutch is

 

yea your brake life is very normal

just make sure you get some hawks or other low dust replacements... you'll be glad you did when it comes time to wash your car

 

The non Brembo equipped G35's have brakes covered under warranty for 3/36k.
