🚗 Tips & Tricks
You can tell what type of Nissan you're looking at by the colour of its brake calipers.
⚪ Silver – Nissan's standard braking system. Designed for confident, smooth stopping power in a wide range of everyday driving conditions.
🔴 Red – Indicates performance-oriented brakes. For example, the 2027 Nissan Z Performance features lightweight aluminum Akebono calipers.
❤️ Bright Red – Found on the 2027 Nissan Z NISMO. Borrowed from the Nissan GT-R, these high-performance brakes feature two-piece iron/aluminum rotors designed to handle extreme heat.
🟡 Gold – Typically signifies Brembo brakes, found on select high-performance models such as the 350Z Track Edition and certain Nissan GT-Rs.
🟨 Yellow – The rarest brake caliper colour in the Nissan lineup. Seen on models like the 2023 Nissan Z Proto Spec and the 2020 GT-R's NISMO and Track editions, these brakes are engineered to remain fade-resistant at temperatures exceeding 1,000°C.
