I haven't ventured to this part of the forum before, but I'm hoping y'all are as helpful as the folks over in the 240SX and G35 forums...

My uncle has a 1997 Infiniti Q45 and his brake rotors tend to get warped pretty quickly (5,000 - 10,000 miles). He does a lot of stop and go driving, and lives in an extremely hot desert area. I was thinking about upgrading his rotors and pads to something a little beefier. Would there be any value in doing other changes short of upgraded calipers? I know a lot of Nissan parts are interchangeable, but I'm having a hard time finding exact part #s.

I was thinking about throwing on some Brembo rotors and higher-temp pads. Thoughts?

Huh? I'm sure you're going to think I'm an idiot, but this is the only thread that I can find. I'm doing a search with the same key words from this post and I don't find anything else.

Did you not post this in the Q45 Forum?

You might try to define "brake upgrade" first as the FGY33 rotors have more mass than the Z32 rotors. Same size pads.
