The Nissan 300ZX was produced as the third and fourth generations of the Nissan Z cars. Built from 1984 until 1996, it capitalized and added to the legend of the Z cars, which truly began with the Datsun 240Z. Powerful, fast, and agile, the Z cars represent the top of Nissan’s lineup.

Proven in club races and on the road alike, the performance of the 300ZX is rarely in doubt. One of the key components of its performance is the Nissan 300ZX’s brakes. With four wheel disk brakes, the 300ZX can stop! The single piston caliper design is more than adequate for most people on the street, although there are those out there that are looking for a little more braking power.

There are a number of Nissan 300ZX brake upgrades that that get some serious stopping power out of the brakes. The cheapest and easiest upgrade is to change the brake pads. The OEM brake pads are good, but there are a variety of aftermarket pads available for roughly the same price as the originals, but will offer some nice increases in stopping power. Brake pads wear out regularly, so when the time comes to change them, you may wish to consider a metallic or semi-organic performance pad. The brake rotors on the 300ZX show good wear characteristics, and there are vented and slotted upgrades that aid in brake cooling. The ultimate upgrade is to replace the stock Nissan 300ZX brakes with a multi-piston caliper system that includes larger pads and rotors, and perhaps a stronger brake cylinder. While this option is certainly the most expensive, if you need brakes that stop now, then this is the way to go.
