all
I am brand new to this forum and recently picked up a 2007 SE-R Spec V , have upgraded the exhaust and done some front end work. I am getting vibration in the steering wheel when I touch the brake pedal lightly, when I press firmly it stops. pads and rotors look real good any ideas on what might cause this? Thanks for your time and sharing information!

If it's only when braking, it's most likely brake related. Not all warping will show visual signs. Other options could include loose tie rods. You said you did some minor front end work. Did everything get tightened back to spec?

Also, this is the wrong place for this thread. I'm moving it to the Sentra forums.

I'd still say slightly warped rotors...
Does it pull to one side or the other during braking, or does it track true?

Yeah if it pulls during braking, and not during normal driving, I'd say look at your brakes. New pads and rotors all the way around, as well as possibly bleeding the calipers to ensure even braking.
