gstar,
Fairly simple fix/tune-up for the brakes is to remove the caliper and clean them and then push the pistons back in. I'll give you the quickie directions here. The caliper pistons they are talking about are what push your brake pads onto the disc. You have a caliper on each side of the front wheel on your brake disc. When you remove your brake caliper you will see them behind the brake pads. Two on each side or you could say two for each pad. Hence the name nissan 4 piston brake calipers. Heres the quick instructions:
Tools: 14mm socket, medium blade flathead screwdriver, brakeclean and towels.
1. Remove the caliper from the front disk (2 bolts) 14mm
2. Squeeze the front brake lever to push the piston out a bit.
3. Clean the brake caliper and pistons with brakeclean
4. Take the flat head screwdriver and compress the 4 pistons back into the caliper.
5. Put the caliper back on the disc and bolt up.
Do the same for the other side and once you have them both back on, pump the brake lever until you feel the brakes working again. You should notice a good impovement in lever travel and I recommend doing this about every 100-1500 miles. Takes about 15 minutes. Sorry no picture but hopefully I explained it well enough. Goodluck,,,,,,,,,
