Fits Nissan 300ZX Z32 (1990-1996)

Brake pad compound

Street: quiet, low-dust, strong cold bite for road driving. Sport: higher temperature range and more bite for fast road and occasional track. Racing: maximum fade resistance for sustained track use (noisier and dustier cold). Match the pad to how hard you actually brake.

Disc size

Caliper grade

Hollow is the standard caliper: a lighter hollow-body forged caliper with a dust cover and a 5-year warranty. Hollow Racing drops the dust cover for sustained high-temperature use (rated to 1000°C, 2-year warranty) — the track-grade choice.

Caliper colour

Painted colours are included. Polished-forged finishes are mirror-polished forged calipers (Titanium, Gold, Silver); candy colours are a deep, mirror-reflection paint. Both are premium upgrades — fuller detail further down the page.

Disc style

Drilled discs (cross-drilled holes) vent gas and water and look aggressive; slotted discs (surface grooves) wipe the pad face clean and resist fade under sustained hard use. Same price — choose on looks or how you drive.

Centre bell

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. Standard anodized is included; a two-tone bell adds an anodized accent ring in your choice of colour; titanium is the lightest, forged option.

Carbon-ceramic rotor

Carbon-ceramic rotors are a special-order track upgrade: far lighter than steel, fade-resistant at extreme temperatures and extremely long-lived. The price follows the disc size you choose above. The standard two-piece steel rotor is included.

XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit — Nissan 300ZX Z32 (1990-1996) — 330 mm
330 mm

The Z32 300ZX was built around a philosophy of doing everything properly: twin turbos, four-wheel steering, fully independent suspension. Yet the standard front brakes were specced for Japanese road-law compliance rather than for driving the VG30DETT hard on open UK roads or the occasional circuit. At around 1,500kg in twin-turbo form, the Z32 carries real mass, and that weight loads the front axle heavily under braking. This XYZ Racing Hollow Front Brake Kit addresses the weakest link in an otherwise serious sports car.

It is a front-axle upgrade, a matched pair of left and right front calipers and discs. Three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, make this equally viable for a Z32 that covers regular road miles as for one set up for B-road pace or trackday use. Included caliper colours mean the kit can sit discreetly in a matching hue or make a statement through a wide-spoke wheel.

What this brake kit does for your 1990-1996 Nissan 300ZX Z32

Front-engined and rear-wheel drive, the Z32 places its iron-block V6 well ahead of the firewall, loading the front axle disproportionately under hard stops. The hollow-vane disc construction pulls heat out of the disc body far faster than the solid OE rotor, improving fade resistance on the axle that takes the majority of stopping force, and the lighter disc trims rotating and unsprung mass at the front, something that becomes apparent quickly when you start using the twin-turbo’s output properly. The three compounds mean the installation is not a blunt instrument. Street is the quiet, low-dust road default for an owner who uses the car occasionally and wants reliable feel. Sport adds bite and heat range for regular hard driving. Racing is the track compound for where consistent performance under thermal load matters most. Combined with included caliper colours in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, this is a front brake upgrade that works both mechanically and visually.

About the Hollow Front Brake Kit

XYZ Racing’s Hollow Front Brake Kit brings meaningful hardware improvement to the Z32’s front axle over the factory specification. The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, paired with two-piece floating rotors whose internal vanes promote heat dispersal during prolonged braking, where solid discs on a car of this weight begin to show their limitations once sustained effort is involved. Discs are available drilled or slotted at the same price, plumbed on braided lines for a firm, repeatable pedal. Pad selection, Street, Sport or Racing, is made at the point of order rather than being fixed, so the kit maps to the car’s actual use pattern. For serious track use an optional Hollow Racing caliper upgrade is offered, run without a dust cover, rated to 1000C and backed by a two-year warranty. Caliper colour is included in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black, with a Custom Color to any Pantone for £150, premium polished-forged Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and candy Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. The kit is designed as a complete front-axle solution rather than a loose collection of components.

Fitment for the Nissan 300ZX Z32 (1990-1996)

This kit is listed for the Nissan 300ZX Z32 chassis produced between 1990 and 1996, covering both the naturally aspirated VG30DE and twin-turbo VG30DETT specifications, along with 2-seat and 2+2 body styles. Check wheel clearance against your specific setup before ordering, particularly if running aftermarket wheels with tighter spoke geometry behind the front axle.

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.
