Fits Nissan CUPE Z12 (2009-2014)

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 CUPE Z12 (2009-2014) — 330 mm
330 mm

The Z12 Cube’s front-wheel-drive layout places the full braking burden on its front axle, and that axle belongs to a compact, upright body that puts significant weight over the nose. The factory caliper-and-disc setup was sized for urban use. It copes in everyday driving, but ask it for sustained deceleration on a fast A-road or repeated hard stops at a track day and the limits become clear.

This XYZ Racing front big brake kit is a direct bolt-on for the CUPE Z12’s hub geometry, supplying a matched pair of front calipers and two-piece floating discs with your choice of Street, Sport, or Racing pad compound. It adds meaningful braking authority where the platform needs it most.

What this brake kit does for your 2009-2014 Nissan CUPE Z12

The Cube Z12’s upright body and compact wheelbase produce pronounced forward weight transfer under hard braking, and in spirited driving all of that load arrives at the front discs repeatedly. A larger swept area and a more substantial caliper body address the soft initial bite that Z12 owners notice most on sustained downhill stretches or when trail-braking into a tight corner. The hollow-vane discs draw airflow through the disc body to shed 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 covers the full spectrum. Street is the quiet, low-dust road default. Sport gives cleaner, more immediate response with a wider heat range for fast roads. Racing readies the front axle for the aggressive, repeated stops a circuit session demands. 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), so the upgrade reads deliberately through open-spoke wheels.

About the Hollow Brake Kit

The caliper is hollow-bodied as standard, bolting onto the Z12’s factory front hubs without additional suspension modification. For serious track use the optional Hollow Racing caliper removes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty. The front-specific specification targets where upgrade effort pays off most on a FWD platform: braking authority under load, fade resistance across sustained use, and pedal consistency from the first stop to the last. 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 CUPE Z12 (2009-2014)

This kit is configured for the Nissan CUPE Z12 produced from 2009 to 2014, spanning the full Z12 generation across both pre-facelift and facelift variants. Confirm your build date against your vehicle identification plate 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.
