Need new brakes
I have a 1999 G20t and I think I need new brakes. At high speeds I brake and my steering wheels shakes vigorously. At very low slow braking you can hear my brakes make a small scratching noise barely noticeable. It doesn't sound like the warning needle but more like sand is between my pads and rotors. What company would you guys suggest I get for pads?

Nissan .... no seriously .... Nissan. The factory pads work better on the street than most others with less dust and better cold friction.
The steering wheel shakes are likely warped rotors. You can get them skimmed if there's enough meat on them otherwise they'll need replacing. My P10 doesn't shake under braking but it does make that "sand in the brakes" sound at very low speed. There's still enough meat on the pads but the rotors are getting down towards minimum thickness. I'm going to check them this weekend, skim them if I can otherwise I'll replace the lot. Luckily they're not too expensive here in NZ.
