Caliper render for this kit:

Carrying close to two tonnes of premium Japanese MPV on rear-wheel-drive underpinnings, the E51 Elgrand places heavy demands on its front brakes every time weight transfers forward under hard deceleration. The stock setup was sized for predictable family use, not the kind of repeated hard braking an ambitious UK A-road or a laden motorway run can require over distance.
This XYZ Racing front big brake kit for the Nissan E51 Elgrand 2WD addresses that gap directly. 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, for owners who have invested in a grey import worth doing properly.
What this brake kit does for your 2002-2010 Nissan E51 ELGRAND 2WD
The Elgrand 2WD’s front axle takes the full brunt of weight transfer under hard stops, a characteristic that becomes pronounced at maximum passenger load or on extended descents where the OEM setup shows its limits through growing pedal travel and reduced bite. Larger front hardware extends the thermal headroom, keeping pedal response consistent in conditions that overwork a standard fit. The hollow-vane discs draw airflow through the disc body to carry heat away, and the two-piece floating construction lets the friction ring expand against the alloy bell without coning, holding the disc true under load.
Pad choice matches the spec to how the car is used. Street is the quiet, low-dust default for an Elgrand kept on school-run duty. Sport adds bite and heat range for one covering fast cross-country miles. Racing handles the outlier pushing this platform harder than Nissan ever intended. 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 unsprung mass down while staying stiff. For serious track use the optional Hollow Racing caliper removes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty. On a vehicle of the Elgrand’s mass, thermal management matters: fade on a heavy MPV arrives with less warning than on a lighter sports car where the driver anticipates it. The big brake format means the front hardware exceeds OEM dimensions outright, a genuine upsizing rather than a like-for-like swap. 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 system.
Fitment for the Nissan E51 ELGRAND 2WD (2002-2010)
This kit is built for the E51 generation Elgrand in 2WD specification, covering the full production run from 2002 to 2010, and fits the front axle. The E51 ran across multiple trim levels and regional variants, so confirm your front hub specification and cross-reference the 2WD fitment detail 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.
