XYZ Racing Hollow Rear Brake Kit — Nissan SKYLINE V35 (2001-2006)

The V35 Skyline marked the end of the RB inline-six era and the start of the FM-platform, VQ35-powered GT, a heavier, more grand-tourer car than the R34 it replaced. That added mass, carried over a long bonnet and a rearward-biased FM layout shared with the Z33, leaves the standard rear brakes doing more work than most owners expect once a fast B-road turns into a circuit session.

This XYZ Racing rear big brake kit for the Nissan Skyline V35 (2001-2006) goes after the rear axle directly: larger hollow-vane two-piece floating discs and stiffer calipers that hold up to the repeat heavy stops the OE rear setup struggles with. Supplied as a matched pair of left and right rear calipers and discs, it tackles the half of the braking system most upgrades skip, and on a rear-driven coupe of this weight it is the half that governs how settled the car stays into a corner.

What this big brake kit does for your 2001-2006 Nissan Skyline V35

On the road you feel it as a firmer, more progressive pedal that does not go long after a run of hard stops. On track the gains are about heat: the hollow disc vanes shed temperature faster, so the rear of the V35 resists fade across a session rather than tailing off after three or four laps, and the two-piece floating discs expand evenly instead of coning. A larger, more rigid rear caliper sharpens brake balance, which matters on a car that likes to rotate: you get cleaner, more predictable trail-braking and less of the nervous rear-end shuffle the standard discs invite when they are cooked. Pad compound choice lets you set the rear bite to match how you drive, from a quiet Street setup to a track-focused Racing compound, with Sport in between for fast road with occasional circuit work.

About the Hollow Rear Brake Kit

The kit replaces the V35’s rear discs with hollow-vane, internally vented two-piece floating rotors designed to drop rotating mass while opening up airflow through the disc face for quicker cooling. Discs come drilled or slotted at the same price, with a two-tone centre bell in five anodized colours or titanium selectable at checkout. It pairs them with an uprated hollow-body rear caliper, included at no extra cost in Red, Yellow, Gold, Black or Anodized Black, with a Custom Color in any Pantone for £150, premium polished-forged finishes in Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and candy options in Teal, Blue, Red and Orange. Three pad compounds are offered: Street for quiet, low-dust daily use, Sport for fast-road work with stronger cold bite, and Racing for sustained high-temperature circuit duty. A Hollow Racing caliper upgrade is available for hard track use, with no dust cover, a 1000C rating and a two-year warranty. Because it is a rear-specific kit, it is engineered to complement, not overwhelm, the front axle, keeping front-to-rear balance sensible rather than over-braking the back of the car.

Fitment for the Nissan Skyline V35 (2001-2006)

This kit is sized for the rear axle of the Nissan Skyline V35 across the 2001 to 2006 model years. It is a rear-position fitment only; confirm your chassis sits within that V35 production span before ordering, and pair it with a matching front setup if you want a full-axle revision.
