XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Nissan SILVIA S13 (1989-1994)

The S13 Silvia left Nissan’s Oppama plant with brakes scaled to a standard CA18DET, 1980s tyre technology, and a kerb weight the UK grey-import scene decided long ago to supplement with SR20DET conversions and progressively more grip. The original single-piston sliding caliper arrangement at the front was adequate when the car was new; it becomes a limiting factor the moment serious power, semi-slick tyres, or repeated hard braking enter the picture.

This XYZ Racing front brake kit addresses that directly. The kit supplies a matched pair of front discs and calipers, with three pad compounds so the system follows the actual operating conditions the car sees, from spirited road use through to competition.

What this brake kit does for your 1989-1994 Nissan SILVIA S13

Rear-wheel drive means the front axle absorbs the majority of stopping energy under hard deceleration. On an S13 that weight transfer forward is pronounced, and the front calipers carry the load. When the car is making substantially more power than standard, running wider and stickier rubber, or being used for track days and drift events, the original hardware runs out of thermal headroom before the session does. This kit replaces the limiting components with hardware matched to those demands, firming up initial bite and holding pedal feel through sustained braking sequences. The hollow-vane discs pull heat off the friction face faster than a solid rotor, which is where the consistency comes from. Selecting the Racing compound lifts the temperature ceiling further for heat-intensive circuit work; Sport bridges fast road and occasional track, and Street keeps a quiet, low-dust daily. Caliper colours work across the wide range of wheel designs the S13 platform typically runs.

About the Hollow brake kit

XYZ Racing’s front brake kit is a big brake package for the Nissan Silvia S13, not a pad-and-disc swap. The kit includes a pair of front calipers in a choice of finishes, matched hollow-vane rotors, and pads in one of three compounds. Street is the right choice for a road-registered car driven hard on occasion; Sport suits regular spirited use and trackday appearances; Racing is for heat-intensive conditions where pad and rotor temperatures exceed what street material handles comfortably. The calipers are hollow-body as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty.

Caliper finish covers Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color option matching any Pantone for an additional fee and premium polished-forged and candy finishes available. Disc style is drilled or slotted at the same price, and two-tone anodized or titanium centre bells are selectable at checkout, a genuine consideration on a car whose open-spoke wheels routinely put the caliper front and centre.
