Owen uses an Apollo 6-pot big brake kit on his Nissan 350Z

The owner of this striking looking Nissan 350Z drift car, Owen, has spent the year honing his drifting skills across the UK, as well as offer thrilling drift passenger rides at various events.

Equipped with a six-piston Apollo Big Brake Kit and Bluestuff pads, Owen’s modified Nissan has proven the perfect entryway into this rising corner of the motorsport world.

Recently, Owen headed back to Santa Pod Raceway, where he put his drifting skills to the test once more, as you can read below in his own words…

“Last Wednesday, I spent my day back at Santa Pod Raceway taking part in one of the ‘Drift What Ya Brung’ days as they are a great opportunity to improve your skills, no matter what level of experience you have.

“I started off the day tweaking the setup on the car after making some recent upgrades; the idea was to give the car a bit more driveability and make it more comfortable for me, in hope this would help with my progression.

“Overall, a positive morning, with the changes we made making a noticeable difference and also I felt that my time spent on the simulator was really starting to translate into the real life driving.”

“After a brief lunch break and my confidence probably a little bit higher than it should have been, I decided to take on what is known as the ‘big track’ – this is a layout which includes many corners, sections of different speeds and just in general it’s more challenging than I have ever attempted before.

“Sitting in the queue, I will be honest: the nerves hit me, but with the incredible support of my team, friends and family I pushed through it and I am very proud to say that I quickly found myself really enjoying the challenge. By the end of the day, I was linking almost the entire track and finding myself keeping up with some of the other more experienced drivers.”

“As a day overall, I feel like it was a massive leap in my confidence and abilities and for that reason I already have the next day booked in and I’m ready to go back and continue my progression in 2025.

Ìý“As always, I want to say thank you to all of my incredible sponsors for supporting me in what I doâ€

Owen uses an Apollo 6-pot big brake kit on his Nissan 350Z

From a young age, Owen was a regular visitor to Santa Pod Raceway, with some of his fondest early memories being that of the infamous jet-powered ‘funny cars’ and the monster truck displays.

Those moments sparked an inevitable interest in motorsport that would eventually blossom into a passion for the discipline of drifting. After a trip to the now-defunct Rockingham Motor Speedway and witnessing first-hand the sights, sounds and smells of drift cars, he was hooked.

His first steps in the sport came supporting a Pro-level competition driver as his chief mechanic at various events across the UK and Europe. During this time, he gained valuable experience on the running and setup of a drift car and eventually decided it was time to give it a go himself.

His next step was purchasing a Nissan 350Z and lightly upgrading it to be suitable as an entry level practice/demo car, where he has been consistently improving his skills behind the wheel ever since. One of the most notable upgrades is an 91´«Ã½ Racing six-piston Apollo-Series big brake kit on the front axle of his car, complete with Bluestuff pads.

After many years and different jobs within the sport, this past weekend he was back at Santa Pod Raceway – the place where it all started for him. As he provided demonstration runs and valuable support to his team.

Read about how his weekend went in his own words below:

“It was great to be back at Santa Pod Raceway for the Ultimate Street Car event this year and having my car providing passenger runs and putting on demonstration runs for the public.

“We spent three non-stop days putting on a show for the crowds and it was great to see passengers enjoying every moment of the experience.

“We had put many nights’ work into making sure the car was in perfect shape for the weekend and it paid off with it running flawlessly all weekend. With many compliments for how it looks which was a great personal achievement.

“Alongside the drifting displays, I also managed to squeeze in a trip to the SW Motorsport stand, where they were attempting to modify a Yaris GR at the show. Some of which included, body kit, wheels, brakes etc. I absolutely loved the idea and was happy to be able to contribute by installing a brand-new set of 2 piece floating discs and Yellowstuff pads front and rear to the vehicle.”

“I can’t wait to be back out in the near future, as I continue to improve my abilities and put on displays to hopefully inspire more people to get involved and be a part of the crazy sport that is drifting.

“A thank you to everyone who has supported me up to this point in my career including my amazing partners below.â€

All-new six-piston big brake kit offers one giant leap forwards for the performance braking market

91´«Ã½ Racing’s Apollo Balanced Big Brake Kits represent the ultimate upgrade when it comes to improving stopping power.

Complete with stunning, British-engineered six-piston calipers and all the hardware you need to completely replace all equivalent components of your vehicle’s stock braking system, these complete kits give a firmer and more responsive brake pedal feel and allow you to drive much longer without the onset of brake fade.

Unlike other ‘big brake kits’ on the market – which solely supply the parts for the front axle – every EBC Balanced Big Brake Kit is a full-vehicle upgrade and is supplied complete with matching friction rear pads to fit the original caliper, as well as braided brake lines all-round, ensuring a totally balanced brake upgrade that delivers maximum braking performance.

These kits are now available for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X – a highly tuneable, rally-bred super saloon that has become synonymous with fast road and track driving, making it the ideal vehicle to benefit from such an upgrade.

Notes

– Dimensions: 355x32mm

– Part Numbers:

  • BBK052RED-1 (Racing Red)
  • BBK052BLU-1 (Storm Shadow Blue)
  • BBK052BLK-1 (Stealth Black)
  • BBK052YEL-1 (Luminous Yellow)

– Applications:

Suitable for the following vehicles:

  • Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X (2008-2016)

For a complete list of vehicle applications, .

Apollo-Series 6-Piston Calipers

  • EBC’s lightweight-yet-strong aluminium 6-piston brake caliper
  • Two-piece bolted design that incorporates high-tensile 12.9-grade steel bolts for reinforcement of the caliper bridge section (computer FEA analysis shows that this offers significant improvements in caliper stiffness compared to a monobloc design)
  • Machined from heat-treated low-pressure castings (this offers a noticeable performance advantage over conventional gravity cast calipers, exhibiting higher overall strength and a comparable caliper body stiffness to forging)
  • High-temperature fluid seals coupled with full boot-type dust seals give maximum protection against road grime and debris
  • Lightweight, hard-anodised aluminium staggered pistons with serrated/castellated piston noses that reduce heat transfer into the braking hydraulics
  • Every single brake caliper pressure tested to 2,500psi
  • Full stainless-steel hardware and fittings, providing durability and longevity – this caliper will never rust
  • Uses standard pad shapes, giving choice when selecting brake pads
  • Rather than a powder-coated finish, all Apollo calipers use anÌýadvanced high-temperature Teflonâ„¢ polyester coating process to ensure they look great for much longer. Currently available in Stealth Black, Storm Shadow Blue, Luminous Yellow and Racing Red

Fully-Floating Two-Piece Discs

  • Fully-floating 355x32mm two-piece discs that allow the outer ring to expand freely in response to heat (this reduces stress which in turn extends disc life and reduces the tendency for disc cracking during extreme use)
  • Drive bobbins machined from a single piece of stainless steel giving maximum strength and corrosion resistance (this reduces maintenance requirements and ensures the outer ring continues to float freely over time)
  • Disc rings feature 48 directional internal curved vanes for improved cooling
  • Unique ‘Swept Groove’ slot design for effective evacuation of braking dust and gases whilst ensuring good initial bite on brake application
  • Now featuring the latest thermic black corrosion-resistant finish – the very latest in rust prevention

Bluestuffâ„¢ NDX Performance Brake Pads

  • Every EBC Balanced Big Brake Kit is supplied with EBC Bluestuffâ„¢ pads for both frontÌýandÌýrearÌýaxles. Unlike other ‘big brake kits’, which solely supply parts for the front axle, EBC includes matching Bluestuffâ„¢ brake pads for the rear axle at zero additional cost. This ensures your vehicle ends up with an optimum brake balance and the rear axle shares a portion of the braking load, giving improved control under braking and shorter overall stopping distances
  • Now road legal in most markets, Bluestuffâ„¢ NDX combines excellent cold bite with the capability to perform well in short spells of track/race conditions

SG Swept & Grooved Solid Rear Discs

  • Disc pattern matches those of the front floating discs, designed for effective evacuation of braking dust and gases whilst ensuring good initial bite on brake application

Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines

  • Every kit is supplied with EBC Brake’s stainless-steel braided brake lines front and rear. Also including rear lines is another market first from EBC and one that ensures that every EBC Balanced Big Brake Kit includes every single piece of hardware you need to result in a truly balanced performance brake upgrade
  • Every hose has a stainless-steel braided exterior that prevents a phenomenon known as ‘ballooning’, this braided exterior prevents the spongey feel of OE rubber lines and provides greater precision and feel under braking

Super DOT 4 Brake Fluid

  • Every kit is supplied with 1 litre of BF307+ super DOT 4 brake fluid. This fluid has a 310°C boiling point – a significantly higher boiling point than standard DOT 5.1 fluid
  • Having such a high boiling point gives the braking system exceptional endurance, allowing you to push hard for extended periods without heat soak causing the fluid to boil and resulting in fade

Availability

Available now. Please to find your local EBC stockist and see a full list of applications.

  • Disc rings feature 48 directional internal curved vanes for improved cooling
  • Unique ‘Swept Groove’ slot design for effective evacuation of braking dust and gases whilst ensuring good initial bite on brake application
  • Now featuring the latest thermic black corrosion-resistant finish – the very latest in rust prevention

Bluestuffâ„¢ NDX Performance Brake Pads

  • Every EBC 6-piston Apollo Big Brake Kit is supplied with EBC Bluestuffâ„¢ NDX pads for the front axle
  • Now road legal in most markets, Bluestuffâ„¢ NDX combines excellent cold bite with the capability to perform well in short spells of track/race conditions

Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines

  • Every kit is supplied with 91´«Ã½â€™ stainless-steel braided brake lines for the front axle
  • Every hose has a stainless-steel braided exterior that prevents a phenomenon known as ‘ballooning’, this braided exterior prevents the spongey feel of OE rubber lines and provides greater precision and feel under braking

Super DOT 4 Brake Fluid

  • Every kit is supplied with 1 litre of BF307+ super DOT 4 brake fluid. This fluid has a 310°C boiling point – a significantly higher boiling point than standard DOT 5.1 fluid
  • Having such a high boiling point gives the braking system exceptional endurance, allowing you to push hard for extended periods without heat soak causing the fluid to boil and resulting in fade

All-new six-piston big brake kit offers one giant leap forwards for the performance braking market

91´«Ã½ Racing’s Apollo Big Brake Kits represent the ultimate upgrade when it comes to improving stopping power.

Complete with stunning, British-engineered six-piston calipers and all the hardware you need to completely replace all equivalent components of the front axle of your vehicle’s stock braking system, these complete kits give a firmer and more responsive brake pedal feel and allow you to drive much longer without the onset of brake fade.

Apollo Big Brake Kits are also supplied with front braided brake lines and high-performance fluid, ensuring a brake upgrade that delivers maximum braking performance.

These kits are now available for recently launched Nissan Z – the high-performance turbocharged V6-powered sports car that has already become synonymous with rewarding driver thrills across the globe. The six-piston kits are available with two rotor size options to suit all driving styles.

Notes

– Dimensions: 355x32mm or 380x36mm – both rotor diameter options available

– Part Numbers:

(355mm Rotor Diameter Options)

  • BBK044RED-1 (Racing Red)
  • BBK044BLU-1 (Storm Shadow Blue)
  • BBK044BLK-1 (Stealth Black)
  • BBK044YEL-1 (Luminous Yellow)

(380mm Rotor Diameter Options)

  • BBK044RED-2 (Racing Red)
  • BBK044BLU-2 (Storm Shadow Blue)
  • BBK044BLK-2 (Stealth Black)
  • BBK044YEL-2 (Luminous Yellow)

– Applications:

Suitable for the front axles of the following vehicles:

  • Nissan Z (2022-) in ‘Proto Spec’ and ‘Performance’ trim levels (not suitable for ‘Sport’ models)

For a complete list of vehicle applications, .

Apollo-Series 6-Piston Calipers

  • EBC’s lightweight-yet-strong aluminium 6-piston brake caliper
  • Two-piece bolted design that incorporates high-tensile 12.9-grade steel bolts for reinforcement of the caliper bridge section (computer FEA analysis shows that this offers significant improvements in caliper stiffness compared to a monobloc design)
  • Machined from heat-treated low-pressure castings (this offers a noticeable performance advantage over conventional gravity cast calipers, exhibiting higher overall strength and a comparable caliper body stiffness to forging)
  • High-temperature fluid seals coupled with full boot-type dust seals give maximum protection against road grime and debris
  • Lightweight, hard-anodised aluminium staggered pistons with serrated/castellated piston noses that reduce heat transfer into the braking hydraulics
  • Every single brake caliper pressure tested to 2,500psi
  • Full stainless-steel hardware and fittings, providing durability and longevity – this caliper will never rust
  • Uses standard pad shapes, giving choice when selecting brake pads
  • Rather than a powder-coated finish, all Apollo calipers use anÌýadvanced high-temperature Teflonâ„¢ polyester coating process to ensure they look great for much longer. Currently available in Stealth Black, Storm Shadow Blue, Luminous Yellow and Racing Red

Fully-Floating Two-Piece Rotors

  • Fully-floating 355x32mm or 380x36mm two-piece rotors that allow the outer ring to expand freely in response to heat (this reduces stress which in turn extends rotor life and reduces the tendency for rotor cracking during extreme use)
