XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Nissan MAXIMA J30 (1988-1994)

The J30 Maxima’s unusual architecture, a longitudinal V6 driving the front wheels through a transaxle, was unlike anything else in Nissan’s lineup at the time, and it places a characteristic bias on the front braking system. The front axle handles steering geometry, drive force, and the bulk of retardation simultaneously; on a platform that last left the factory in 1994, even well-preserved original brake hardware is now operating well past its designed service life.

This XYZ Racing front big brake kit addresses that directly, fitting to the J30’s front hubs and delivering a meaningfully more capable stopping system than worn OEM components can provide. It is a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs, supplied with your choice of Street, Sport, or Racing pad compound and a painted finish in one of five included colours.

What this brake kit does for your 1988-1994 Nissan MAXIMA J30

With the VG-series V6 mounted longitudinally ahead of the front axle line, the J30 carries a nose-heavy bias that the front brakes feel on every stop. After more than thirty years of heat cycling, fade resistance on stock hardware will have dropped considerably; those components were never designed for indefinite service under a still-enthusiastic owner. Fitting this kit at the front restores a consistent bite point and extends the fade threshold appreciably. The hollow-vane discs draw airflow through the disc body to manage heat, and the two-piece floating construction lets the friction ring expand against the alloy bell without coning, holding the disc true and trimming rotating and unsprung mass.

Pad choice matches the spec to actual use. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for regular road use. Sport adds bite and a wider heat range for warmer, more sustained conditions. Racing covers competitive and track-day environments. Calipers come painted in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, or Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color in any Pantone shade available, plus premium polished-forged finishes (Titanium, Polished Gold, Polished Silver) and candy finishes (Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red, Candy Orange).

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, keeping mass down while staying stiff, and is built specifically for Nissan Maxima J30 applications across the 1988 to 1994 model span. For serious track use the optional Hollow Racing caliper removes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty. The kit is engineered to the J30’s front hub specification for the relevant production years, fitting without custom fabrication. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, the centre bell can be upgraded to a two-tone anodized finish in five colours or to titanium, and braided lines complete the front axle.

Fitment for the Nissan MAXIMA J30 (1988-1994)

This brake kit is confirmed for the Nissan Maxima J30, covering the full production span from 1988 through 1994, and fits the front axle. As with any brake upgrade on a platform of this age, verify your car’s hub and caliper bracket specification before finalising your order, as minor regional or build-date differences across the J30’s run are worth confirming.
