Caliper render for this kit:
The V35 generation closed the chapter on the RB inline-six era and, for most buyers, the twin-turbo GT-R archetype. What took its place was the VQ35DE, 280ps in Japanese specification, naturally aspirated, built to rev, sitting behind the front axle in a front-midship configuration that gave the V35 a weight balance the previous saloons never achieved. The factory front brakes were calibrated for the grand touring role Nissan intended. They were not intended for the use the chassis actually rewards.
This XYZ Racing front brake kit addresses that front-axle deficit for the Nissan Skyline V35 across the full 2001-2006 production run, supplying a matched pair of front discs and calipers. Three pad compounds mean the specification follows how the car is genuinely used, not a notional average buyer.
What this brake kit does for your 2001-2006 Nissan SKYLINE V35
The V35’s front-midship layout distributes mass more evenly than a conventional FR arrangement, which means committed drivers can trail-brake deeper into corners with the front end planted rather than pushed wide. That confidence relies on the front brake system keeping pace with the chassis. Factory pads show fade before the V35’s chassis starts to feel compromised; the thermal threshold arrives too early. This kit’s increased friction surface shortens stopping distances and holds fade at bay through repeated applications, with hollow-vane discs pulling heat off the friction face. Sport raises the thermal ceiling significantly over the Street pad; Racing extends that further for track sessions; Street keeps a quiet, low-dust daily. Caliper colours sit prominently through the V35’s factory wheel design, a practical detail on a car where the front axle is visible and often developed from standard.
About the Hollow Front Brake Kit
This XYZ Racing front brake kit is a complete front upgrade for the V35 Skyline, supplying a pair of front discs and calipers in a single matched specification. The three-tier compound range acknowledges the owners these cars attract: Street suits the owner returning a neglected car to proper working order; Sport serves those who push the car on fast roads or appear at occasional track evenings; Racing is for drivers running the V35 on circuit where operating temperatures consistently exceed street compound’s design range. The calipers are hollow-body as standard, with an optional Hollow Racing upgrade for serious track use that drops the dust cover, is rated to 1000C, and carries a two-year warranty.
Caliper colour covers 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, so the brake specification integrates with the wider build rather than defaulting to motorsport red. Disc style is drilled or slotted at the same price, with two-tone anodized or titanium centre bells selectable at checkout.
Fitment for the Nissan SKYLINE V35 (2001-2006)
This kit is confirmed for the Nissan Skyline V35 across the full 2001-2006 production window, covering both the sedan and coupe body styles built in that period. If the car has been fitted with aftermarket wheels, verify caliper-to-spoke clearance before ordering; designs with deep dish profiles or tight offset can be marginal against an uprated front caliper.

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.
