You do not have a pressure differential at one corner of the car due to weight transfer.
You can remove a shock even, its not going to effect how "hard" the brakes at that corner work. The pressure applied is the same at each corner. You will have a larger percentage of weight over that corner, but a blown strut will not effect enough of a weight transfer for it to make 1 iota of difference.
This is a know issue for G35's. The OE pads will deposit a lot of brake friction material on the rotor due to there construction and will cause the pulsation you feel as a warped rotor.
Some people have had luck with powerslot or slotted rotors and OE pads, but the easy thing is non-OE pads.
Again, alignment or suspension will not cause this. You can have a vibration due to suspension related issues but this is not what is happening. This is a brake related pulsation.
