Nissan GT-R (R35) Brakes FAQ's

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What’s the best first braking upgrade on an R35 used for spirited street driving?

Start with high‑performance pads, stainless lines, and a fresh high‑boil DOT 4. Two‑piece rotors add heat capacity and reduce unsprung mass.

Do I need a big‑brake kit for a tuned R35?

With quality pads/rotors and fluid, the OEM Brembo calipers are strong. Step to a BBK when tire grip, speed, and track time increase.

How do I control pedal fade on mountain runs?

Use high‑boiling‑point fluid, bed pads correctly, ensure proper wheel‑well airflow, and consider two‑piece rotors to shed heat faster.
