I put z calipers on the back, works great and is a easy install, but when they get hot they squeal out something terrible, I have brand new dealer pads and brand new brembo blank (not x-drilled/slotted) rotors, took them off and scorced the pds and rotors up and they were quick for a while need help, oh yea braking power has increased dramatically!

Do you have the special Nissan shims between the pads and pistons? With the funny grease? How about the "H" spring that goes over the top?

Without all of those in place they will squeal like mofos.

Yeah you gotta have the shims and grease EVERYTHING up real good, i bet the pads are sticking to the pins.
