XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Nissan SKYLINE R33 GTR (1995-1998)

The BNR33 GTR hides a grand tourer’s mass under its tuner-icon reputation, close to 1,540kg of twin-turbo RB26 hardware, much of it over the nose, driven through ATTESA E-TS to all four corners. Because that system feeds torque rearward, the back axle of an R33 GTR does far more braking work than most owners assume, and the standard rear discs were never specced for cars making well beyond the factory 280ps figure.

This is the rear half of a serious braking upgrade for the Nissan Skyline R33 GTR (1995-1998): a matched pair of larger two-piece floating discs and stiffer calipers, with a hollow-vane disc design that trims rotating and unsprung mass at the rear. For a fast-road BNR33 that sees occasional circuit use, it restores the braking margin the RB26’s tuning headroom quietly eats away.

What this rear brake kit does for your 1995-1998 Nissan Skyline R33 GTR

On a heavy AWD coupe, fade is the enemy, and it shows up first at the rear under repeated heavy stops. The larger disc adds thermal capacity so pedal feel stays consistent deep into a session rather than going long after three or four hard applications. The hollow-vane construction reduces rotating mass, which sharpens response and eases load on the rear hubs, while the two-piece floating discs expand evenly under heat instead of coning. Three pad compounds let you match bite and temperature range to how the car is actually used: Street for quiet low-dust road miles, Sport for fast road with occasional track, and Racing for sustained circuit heat. With Super HICAS steering the rear axle, predictable, balanced rear braking also keeps the car settled on corner entry.

About the Hollow rear brake kit

The Hollow rear big brake kit is built around a lightweight two-piece floating disc whose hollow internal vanes remove mass without sacrificing the thermal volume a heavy GTR demands. It pairs that disc with a rigid hollow-body caliper to resist flex under high clamping loads, the point at which cheaper setups lose feel. Discs are drilled or slotted at the same price, with a two-tone centre bell in five anodized colours or titanium selectable at checkout. Pad compound is a buyer choice across Street, Sport and Racing, so the kit can be set up for a daily-driven R33 or a car built for track work. Included caliper finishes at no extra cost are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black; a Custom Color in any Pantone is £150, with premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver and candy options in Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. Hard-driven builds can add the Hollow Racing caliper, which runs no dust cover, is rated to 1000C and carries a two-year warranty. As a rear-specific kit it is engineered to complement an uprated front setup and keep front-to-rear balance honest on a car carrying real speed.

Fitment for the Nissan Skyline R33 GTR (1995-1998)

This kit is a direct fit for the BNR33 Skyline GTR built between 1995 and 1998, in the rear position. It is configured specifically for the GTR’s rear axle rather than a generic R33 application, so confirm your chassis code reads BNR33 before ordering. Front fitment is handled by the matching front kit.
