Nissan GT-R Brake Kits, Rotors & Pads

Repeated launch-control starts and hard track braking generate the exact stress that destroys single-piece rotors: the friction ring heats and expands while the hub stays cool, and something has to give. Ghost Brakes GT-R rotors use a 6061-T6 aluminum hat mechanically separated from the iron friction ring, so the ring expands independently under heat instead of warping the whole rotor.

• Diamond-slotted venting sweeps debris and gas from the pad face
• Double-drilled for additional cooling
• GEOMET® coated for long-term corrosion resistance

Big-box brake brands like PowerStop and BrakePerformance don't carry a 2-piece rotor at all - their catalogs stop at 1-piece coated and drilled/slotted kits, which don't address the GT-R's specific thermal problem. The real competitive set here is GiroDisc and Paragon Performance, both established kit-and-replacement-ring builders for the R35, and Brembo's own GT-R systems at the premium end. Ghost Brakes builds to the same fully-floating 2-piece standard - GEOMET coating, matched carbon ceramic pads - as a direct bolt-on kit without boutique-brand lead times.

Not every Nissan GT-R owner needs the same rotor architecture. Daily drivers who want quieter stops, less dust, and longer rotor life usually land on our 555-tier G11H18 drilled and diamond-slotted one-piece rotors with matched carbon ceramic pads. If you track, tow heavy, or repeatedly brake from highway speed, the 777-tier 2-piece floating front rotor (where offered for your chassis) sheds heat faster and resists warp under repeated thermal cycles.

Use the product grid on this page to filter by your exact year and trim, or open the year-specific fitment tool before you order. Every complete kit ships with hardware, bedding instructions, and a lifetime manufacturing-defect warranty — compare tiers in our 2-piece vs 1-piece rotor guide if you are cross-shopping against OEM or big-box performance brands.

Engineering context for the rotor face design lives on Ghost Brakes diamond-slotted rotors (brand site) — Slyde Over is where you confirm SKU, price, and checkout for your nissan gt-r brake kit.

Ghost Brakes hardware is sold and fulfilled through Slyde Over — same rotors, same pads, same warranty, with cart checkout and tracked shipping. Filter the grid above to your model year, add the kit that matches your caliper and rotor diameter, and keep your VIN or trim details handy if you run a wide-body, performance package, or heavy-duty tow package that changes front rotor size.
