I sent mine to Ubi...they say idling RPM too high...so tune for me...now slightly better. I asked anything wrong with Rotor...they say no..cos if got, when driving, the car will vibrate too..well, I just accept it  :unsure:


When car is in motion, there is no contact with the brake rotor, and the vibration felt when you brake could be due to the uneven brake rotor which causes the vibration when the brake pads are in contact with it.

I am truely disapointed with Tan Chong's assessment.

Bilancia is correct in his diagnosis.

Do you have facts and data to support your statement ? If the rotor is uneven or warp, what makes you think no contact with the brakes pad thus create vibration ?  ::)

Please read my statement again.

Go and analyse more before red bold. Do you own a car and see what is the gap between the rotor and the brake pad ? If the rotor is wrap and expand after heated up, why it won't touch the brake pad ? And vibration may also due to bearing wear off too.

 And based on what ground do you condemn Nissan car and their service? And what did Bilancia gave you the info that his "diagnosis" is correct?
