Endless Brake Pads for RZ34 Nissan Z NISMO
Endless’s Brake Pads for RZ34 Nissan Z NISMO fit the 2024 to 2026 Z NISMO and the Japanese Fairlady Z NISMO, which pair fixed four-piston front calipers with 15.0-inch front rotors, an inch larger than those on the Performance. Endless gives the NISMO its own front shape, EP574, while the 13.8-inch rear stays on EP462, the shape the Performance and the 370Z Sport also use. For a NISMO that is driven to events and lapped hard, CC-Rg is our pick, and MX72 Plus suits one that tracks a few times a year.
Features
- Endless pad shapes EP574 front and EP462 rear for the NISMO brake package
- Five street and street-to-track compounds, SSS through CC-Rg, for either axle
- Racing Group and W003 Group for both axles, with MA45B for the rear
- Front, rear or Front and Rear Set in every compound except MA45B
Choosing a Compound
The NISMO is the Z most likely to see a circuit, so the compounds that matter most here start at MX72 Plus. MX72 Plus suits a NISMO on street tires at regular track days, CC-Rg suits one lapped most months, and the racing groups suit a car prepared for competition. SSS and SSM Plus remain sensible for an owner who mostly drives on the road. MA45B is rear only, as Endless prices it for EP462 and not EP574. W007 and W008 are left off because Endless designs both for carbon ceramic rotors, and the Z NISMO runs iron rotors.
Every figure below is Endless’s own. Friction is the compound’s average friction coefficient, so a higher number gives more bite for the same pedal pressure. The rotor range is the band of rotor temperatures Endless designs the compound to work in, so choose by the temperatures your car will see.
Street and street-to-track compounds
- SSS (street): non-asbestos; friction 0.38-0.45; rotor range 0-480C (32-896F). Low wear, long rotor life, a strong initial response and exceptionally low dust, built for road and highway driving.
- SSM Plus (street): non-asbestos; friction 0.33-0.40; rotor range 0-550C (32-1022F). Low dust, low noise and long life. Braking builds with pedal pressure rather than a sharp first bite, for drivers who want clean wheels and a quiet car.
- MX72 (street to light track): ceramic carbon metal; friction 0.37-0.47; rotor range 50-700C (122-1292F). Minimal noise and dust, strong friction at low temperatures, reduced rotor wear and a better pedal feel than a typical semi-metallic pad. Endless’s dual-duty compound for a road car that sees the occasional track day.
- MX72 Plus (street to circuit): ceramic carbon metal; friction 0.39-0.47; rotor range 50-750C (122-1382F). Holds its braking force to higher temperatures than MX72, with stable control and a consistent pedal release. Endless aims it at cars on street tires that run on track.
- CC-Rg (track day, street capable): ceramic carbon metal; friction 0.38-0.45; rotor range 50-800C (122-1472F). High initial bite across a wide temperature range, even when cold, and modulation that works with the factory ABS under hard use. Endless notes it is noisy on the street; it is the step up from MX72 Plus for regular track days.
Racing compounds
Each option below is one choice in the Choose Compound menu. For a group, name your compound in the order notes and Bulletproof Automotive confirms it with your order. Every racing compound needs Endless’s bedding procedure: at 70 to 80 percent of normal pedal effort, bring the rotors gradually to 400C (752F), then let them cool below 150C (302F) before hard use.
Racing Group
- ME22: dual braking style; friction 0.33-0.38; rotor range 150-800C (302-1472F). Developed from ME20 with lower friction for control, for light to mid-weight cars or heavier cars on slower circuits. Endless rates it for street and track.
- ME20: trail-braking style; rotor range 150-800C (302-1472F). High, stable friction at high temperature with low wear, developed for touring cars and rally. Works front or rear, with stock or racing ABS.
- N35S: trail-braking style; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). Quick, sharp and responsive, with stable modulation under high temperature and load. Endless’s flagship rally compound, also run in FIA GT, and its suggested starting point for drivers new to Endless racing pads.
- N05U: trail-braking style; friction 0.46-0.53; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). More bite than N35S, popular in sprint-focused Porsche Cup cars.
- N05S: trail-braking style; friction 0.45-0.53; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). Immediate high friction with little pedal effort, used in Japanese rally cars without brake boosters and in European and Australian sprint racing.
- N30C: friction 0.50-0.60; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). High initial bite, gentle on rotors and low wear. A rally compound for cars without a brake booster.
- S55G: Endless publishes no figures. It suits lightweight and front-wheel-drive cars, and the rear of front-wheel-drive cars, with high controllability.
- PC35: Endless publishes no figures. More bite than N35S with high braking force and a stable pedal; Endless’s base pad for rally raid.
W003 Group
- W003: trail-braking style; friction 0.40-0.45. Similar in character to N35S with better wear, tough and stable at high temperature with a linear torque curve; run in rally, touring cars, ALMS and PWC. Circuit only: Endless does not recommend it for the street and notes high rotor wear when cold.
- S330: trail-braking style; friction 0.60-0.70; rotor range 300-850C (572-1562F). High friction for sprint racing, with good control at high levels and without accelerating rotor wear; run in Super GT, stock cars and GT2 and GT3 sprint racing.
Sold as its own option
- MA45B: standard braking style; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). Endless’s endurance compound: low friction but stable for a whole race, with excellent heat resistance and wear. Most Nurburgring and Spa 24 Hours entrants run it. Offered for the rear axle only on this car.
Applications
- Nissan Fairlady Z NISMO: RZ34 | 2023-2026 | 3.0L VR30DDTT
- Nissan Z NISMO: RZ34 | 2024-2026 | 3.0L VR30DDTT
Notes
- Each Front or Rear set of Brake Pads for RZ34 NISMO cars covers both wheels on one axle
- Endless sells no combo set for these shapes, so the Front and Rear Set costs the same as one front set plus one rear set
- For 2024 to 2026 US cars and the Fairlady Z NISMO from 2023. Nissan fitted two-piece front rotors to the 2027 Z NISMO, so owners of a 2027 car should check with Bulletproof Automotive before ordering.
- The Z Performance shares the EP462 rear shape but takes EP461 at the front, and the Z Sport takes EP523 front and EP482 rear
- For the factory calipers. A NISMO converted to an Endless big brake kit takes the pads for those calipers; see the Endless brake kits for the RZ34 Z.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do the Endless Brake Pads for RZ34 NISMO cars fit a Z Performance? No. The NISMO runs 15.0-inch front rotors and Endless makes EP574 for it, while the Performance, on 14.0-inch front rotors, takes EP461. The rear is shared, as both use EP462 on 13.8-inch rotors, so a Performance owner could use the rear set from these Brake Pads for RZ34 NISMO cars and buy the front separately.
- What about the 2027 Z NISMO with the new front rotors? For 2027 Nissan moved the NISMO to two-piece front rotors derived from the GT-R, which may change pad fitment at the front. The pads on this listing are for the 2024 to 2026 US NISMO and the Fairlady Z NISMO from 2023. Owners of a 2027 car should contact Bulletproof Automotive, and we will confirm the shape before anything ships.
- Which Endless compound suits a Z NISMO on track? CC-Rg is our choice for a NISMO lapped regularly: Endless rates it to 800C, or 1472F, with high bite even when cold and modulation that works with the factory ABS. A NISMO on street tires at a few events a year is well served by MX72 Plus, rated to 750C, or 1382F, and quieter on the drive home.
- Is there a discount for buying front and rear together? No. Endless sells no combo set for EP574 and EP462, so the Front and Rear Set costs the sum of one front set and one rear set in every compound. It still saves ordering twice. MA45B is offered for the rear only, so a car running it pairs it with a front compound from the Racing Group or the W003 Group.
- Which racing compounds can be driven on the street? ME22 is the one Endless rates for both street and track. W003 is for the circuit only and wears rotors quickly when cold. Every racing compound needs the Endless bedding procedure before hard use, at 70 to 80 percent of normal pedal effort up to 400C, or 752F, then a cool-down below 150C, or 302F.

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.
Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only.

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well.
For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at
