Description

Brake Pads: Don't Skimp on Stopping Power, Mate! — Featuring TRW
> Let's be straight: brake pads are the unsung heroes of your ride, the bits that grab onto the rotors to bring you to a halt. They cop a hammering over time, grinding down from all that heat and friction. For a hefty SUV like your Nissan Murano or Infiniti FX, or even a zippy G35 sedan, especially with all the ups and downs of New Zealand's roads, keeping these in top nick isn't just smart — it's crucial for keeping you and your whānau safe as houses.
Signs Your Brakes Are Having a Hissy Fit
• Got a squealing, grinding, or a bit of a metallic racket when you hit the anchors?
• Taking longer to stop, or the pedal feels a bit like a sponge?
• Getting the shakes through the steering wheel or brake pedal when you're braking?
• Can you see your pads are looking a bit thin (like, less than 3-4mm left)?
• Is that pesky brake warning light having a party on your dashboard?
Will it pass WOF?
Nah, mate, if your brake pads are knackered, your vehicle will fail its Warrant of Fitness (WOF) inspection here in New Zealand, no two ways about it. Not enough pad material or dodgy braking performance is a massive safety no-no.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10 (Moderate — A bit of a weekend warrior job, eh?)
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per axle (Factor in a cuppa or two!)
Tools Required: Jack and jack stands, wheel nut wrench, C-clamp or brake caliper piston tool, spanner/socket set, brake cleaner, torque wrench, and maybe a wire brush for those stubborn bits.
Bob's Top Tip
Sorting your brake pads isn't just basic maintenance; it's a direct line to your safety and everyone else's on the road. Worn-out pads mean less stopping power, longer stopping distances, and if you leave 'em too long, you'll be up for a much bigger bill replacing your rotors too. The TRW brake pads? They're a pearler — known for quality, durability, and doing the job right, especially for the demanding world of Nissan Murano and Infiniti models. Bob @ CARFIX is always keen for a yarn to help you suss out exactly what you need for your Nissan or Infiniti. Pop over to Bob's Shop for a good old chat — he'll get you sorted!
Fitment Notes
These brake pads are custom-fit for a bunch of Nissan Murano models (2003-2014), Infiniti FX35/FX45 (2003-2008), Infiniti G35 (2002-2007), and Nissan Maxima (2006-2008). Always, always double-check your exact year and model against the product details to make sure they're a perfect match — sometimes even cars from the same family can be a bit different.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Brakes get incredibly dirty. Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from stubborn brake dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use a high-quality Brake Cleaner spray to blast away stubborn dust, oil, and road grime from the caliper assembly and new rotors before reassembly.
• Lubrication: Apply a thin smear of high-temperature caliper grease to the pad backing plates and slide pins (keep it off the pad friction material!) to prevent squeals and ensure smooth caliper operation.
