Caliper render for this kit:

At over 1,600kg in standard trim, the T30 X-Trail sits at the heavier end of its class and asks a great deal of its front brakes under repeated load. Mountain roads with a loaded boot, a full complement of passengers on a motorway run, or simply the stop-start pace of a school-run car that occasionally earns its four-wheel-drive badge on a muddy lane: the factory front hardware was sized to a cost target, and it shows when temperatures climb.
This XYZ Racing front brake kit for the Nissan X-Trail T30 addresses that weight penalty directly, supplying a matched pair of front discs and calipers. Three pad compounds let you match friction characteristics to how this car actually lives its life, without over-specifying for occasional use.
What this brake kit does for your 2001-2007 Nissan X-TRAIL T30
The hollow-vane rotor construction improves thermal management where the T30’s front axle carries the majority of braking stress, a consequence of both the chassis weight and the forward weight transfer inherent in any tall-sided SUV under hard braking. The internal vanes pull heat off the friction face, and that thermal headroom matters most in the situations T30 owners actually encounter: a long descent with a loaded roof box, higher-speed country road driving where the OE setup runs warm, or a circuit familiarisation day where the four-wheel-drive system makes the car an unexpectedly capable student. Three pad compounds let you match friction level to use case: Street for the quiet, low-dust day-to-day feel, Sport for elevated bite without demanding a dedicated bedding session, and Racing for maximum friction once the rotor reaches working temperature. Caliper colour options are visible through most T30 alloy spoke designs, a considered addition for owners who want the upgrade to read as deliberate.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
Named for XYZ Racing’s hollow-vane rotor design, this kit uses internal vane sections within the disc casting that reduce rotating and unsprung mass while preserving the rotor surface area needed for friction and heat dissipation. It is supplied as a pair of front discs and calipers. The hollow geometry contributes to heat management across repeated braking events. Pad selection spans Street (quiet, low-dust bite for daily use), Sport (higher friction coefficient, tolerates a moderate temperature range), and Racing (maximum friction, requires heat to reach its working range, not a commuter choice). 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 finishes run to 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. Disc style is drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-tone anodized or titanium centre bells selectable at checkout. The kit covers the front axle only, targeting the brake circuit that handles the majority of deceleration load on a front-biased platform.
Fitment for the Nissan X-TRAIL T30 (2001-2007)
This kit is specified for the first-generation Nissan X-Trail T30, covering the full production run from 2001 to 2007. Petrol and diesel variants of the T30 shared a broadly consistent front hub and brake architecture across the generation. Verify your specific market specification 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.
