Caliper render for this kit:

The J31 Teana’s front-wheel-drive layout places the braking emphasis squarely on the front axle, and with either the 2.3-litre VQ23DE or the 3.5-litre VQ35DE under the bonnet there is meaningful weight and torque for the stock system to manage. Nissan calibrated the J31’s factory brakes around the expectations of an executive saloon: progressive, quiet, predictable under normal use. Push that brief into sustained hard braking and the limits show quickly.
This XYZ Racing front brake kit replaces the original front setup with a matched pair of front discs and calipers that hold up under more demanding use. Three pad compounds let the owner match the kit to actual driving rather than accepting a single factory compromise. Caliper finishes mean the install looks deliberate rather than an afterthought.
What this brake kit does for your 2002-2008 Nissan TEANA J31
Front-heavy FWD platforms like the J31 rely on the front brakes to carry the majority of braking load, and the V6 engines available add to that front-axle bias. Upgraded rotors and matched pads improve thermal management at the front axle, the area where OEM fade first appears on the J31 when the brakes are worked hard in succession; the hollow-vane discs pull heat off the friction face to extend that headroom. The Sport pad sharpens bite over the standard fitment without the cold-bite compromise of a Racing compound, making it the practical choice for an owner who uses this car on challenging roads, while Street keeps a quiet, low-dust daily. For drivers who occasionally run the car harder, a hill-climb, a track day, a sprint event, the Racing option maintains friction coefficient at temperatures the factory pads were never designed to see. Caliper colour adds a visual element that acknowledges the rest of the owner’s build.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
This XYZ Racing front brake kit is a front-axle upgrade developed to replace the original equipment on the Teana J31 with hardware suited to more demanding use cycles, supplied as a pair of front discs and calipers. It is packaged specifically for the front axle, matching the brake balance logic of a FWD chassis where the fronts carry disproportionate responsibility. Pad compound is selected when you order, Street for everyday use, Sport for mixed spirited and commuter driving, or Racing for track and competition use, which removes the common post-purchase pad swap. The calipers are hollow-body as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use that removes the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty.
Caliper colour options span Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with a Custom Color option matching any Pantone for an additional fee and premium polished-forged and candy finishes available, covering everything from understated to eye-catching beneath the J31’s alloys. Disc style is drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-tone anodized or titanium centre bells selectable at checkout. The kit suits J31 owners who keep these saloons in active use and want a brake system that matches how they actually drive them.
Fitment for the Nissan TEANA J31 (2002-2008)
This kit is specified for the Nissan Teana J31 across the complete production run from 2002 to 2008. The J31 covers both the 2.3-litre VQ23DE and 3.5-litre VQ35DE engine variants; the front brake fitment applies across the range. Owners of the later J32 (from 2008 onwards) should note that the chassis architecture differs and a separate fitment applies.

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.
