Answer
Aaron,

I have an 03 350Z too.  I would try to turn the traction control off and see if the problem goes away.  If this is the case you probably need to bleed the brakes to get the old fluid out.  Second, the problem could be that one of the wheel sensors is messing up.  You could check each for good wire connection.  But, to be sure have the codes read and that should lead you to the source of the problem.  The brakes need to be bled every two years regardless.  Use Ford High Performance Brake Fluid as it gives a much firmer feel.  You can get it at your local Ford Dealer.  It has twice the boiling point of regular DOT3.  DO not use synthetic as it will mess up the ABS.
