Caliper render for this kit:
The Z33’s VQ35DE sits well ahead of the front axle, and with a kerb weight north of 1,400kg the front brakes carry a serious thermal load under hard deceleration. A standard-spec Z33 manages this adequately on the road, but commit to a track session and the OEM fronts begin to show their limits. Pedal travel extends, bite becomes inconsistent, and you find yourself working around the brakes rather than trusting them.
This XYZ Racing front big brake kit replaces the Z33’s factory front hardware with a matched pair of left and right calipers and two-piece floating discs. Pad compound is your choice of Street, Sport, or Racing, and the caliper arrives painted in one of five included colours at no extra cost.
What this brake kit does for your 2003-2008 Nissan 350ZX Z33
The principal gain on the Z33 is repeatability. Where the OEM fronts lose their edge as temperature climbs through sustained braking, this kit’s hollow-vane discs keep airflow moving through the disc body, shedding heat between stops and holding a consistent bite across successive laps. On a rear-wheel-drive chassis the braking confidence feeds directly into corner-entry technique: if the front decelerates predictably, you carry the speed you have rather than backing off early.
Pad choice tailors the kit to how you drive. Street is the quiet, low-dust road default. Sport adds bite and a wider heat range for fast road with the occasional track day. Racing is the dedicated circuit compound for sustained high-temperature work. The two-piece floating disc construction lets the friction ring expand independently of the alloy bell, reducing coning and warping under repeated heavy stops, and the lighter assembly trims rotating and unsprung mass at the front corners.
Calipers come painted in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, or Anodized Black at no cost. A Custom Color in any Pantone shade is available for an additional charge, and premium polished-forged finishes (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) or candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange) give a build something genuinely distinctive through the Z33’s standard 18-inch spokes.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, machined to keep mass down without losing stiffness. For serious track use you can step up to the optional Hollow Racing caliper, which drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty. Discs are supplied drilled or slotted at the same price, and the centre bell can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium. Braided lines firm up the pedal and resist the swelling that bleeds away feel as the system heats. The kit covers the front axle only; the rear specification is unchanged.
Fitment for the Nissan 350ZX Z33 (2003-2008)
This kit is confirmed for the Nissan 350ZX Z33 across the full 2003 to 2008 production span, covering both pre-facelift and facelift models. If you are running aftermarket alloys with tighter spoke-to-hub clearance than the OEM 18-inch setup, confirm caliper clearance before ordering.

Choosing your spec
Every kit is built to order around the choices you make above. Here is what each option actually changes, so you can spec yours with confidence.
Brake pads — Street, Sport or Racing
Every kit ships with a full set of high-performance pads; the compound is your call.
Street is the right default for fast-road driving — a strong, progressive cold bite with low noise, low dust and long disc life. Sport raises the working temperature and adds bite and fade resistance for hard road use and the occasional track day, while still behaving on a cold morning. Racing is a track compound built for sustained abuse: huge fade resistance and bite once heat is in it, at the cost of more noise and dust when cold. Match the pad to how hard you actually use the brakes — there is no benefit to a race pad that never gets up to temperature.
Caliper grade — Hollow vs Hollow Racing
Hollow is the standard caliper on every kit: a hollow-body forged caliper, lighter than a solid one, fitted with a dust cover and backed by a 5-year oil-leak warranty. For most fast-road and spirited track use it is all the caliper you need.
Hollow Racing is the track-grade upgrade. It runs the same hollow body but without a dust cover (so there is nothing to melt at sustained high temperature), uses a twin-metal piston that isolates heat travelling from the disc to the oil seal, and is rated to 1000°C. Available 286–380mm (front). Warranty is 2 years on oil leaks and 10 years on appearance. Built for professional racing and repeated track days.
Caliper colour & finish
Painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black) are included at no cost. Want an exact match to your car? Custom Color (+£150) paints the calipers to any Pantone code you supply (15–20 day lead time).
Polished Forged finishes are the flagship: a forged caliper given a mirror-polished surface treatment that shifts colour with the viewing angle. Beyond the looks, the polished surface dissipates heat better, resists rust and stands up to the weather. Choose Titanium (neochrome, +£350), Polished Gold (+£300) or Polished Silver (+£250). They look their best paired with a titanium centre bell. Care: clean only with a dilute neutral cleaner or water.
Candy colours (+£200) use a deep candy-paint and polishing process for a mirror-reflection, boutique finish — pick Teal, Blue, Red or Orange (shown below right).
Centre bells
The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. The standard anodized centre bell is included. The Two-tone bell (+£200) adds an anodized accent ring — choose Red, Yellow, Orange, Purple or Silver right here at checkout. The Titanium centre bell (+£500) is a forged titanium bell (bolts not included) that finishes off the polished-forged look.
