Manufactured by EBC Brakes, these high-friction rear brake pads offer excellent cold bite and increased resistance to brake fade, making them a performance-focused replacement for compatible Nissan GT-R R35 models.
Whether you’re replacing worn original brake pads or upgrading the braking performance of your GT-R, EBC Yellowstuff delivers a balance of everyday usability and high-performance road capability.
Designed for selected Nissan GT-R R35 3.8L V6 Twin Turbo models from 2012 to 2020, part number DP41110R fits compatible rear brake systems. Exact compatibility must be checked against the fitted calipers and brake discs before ordering.
Why Choose EBC Yellowstuff Nissan GT-R R35 Rear Brake Pads?
The Nissan GT-R R35 is no ordinary performance car. Its twin-turbocharged VR38DETT engine, advanced all-wheel-drive system and substantial performance place significant demands on its braking components.
EBC Yellowstuff brake pads are engineered for drivers who require more from their brakes than basic everyday replacement pads.
Strong Initial Bite from Cold
One of the main advantages of EBC Yellowstuff is its excellent cold braking response.
Unlike certain motorsport-oriented compounds that require substantial heat before performing effectively, Yellowstuff is designed to provide responsive braking from the first application.
This makes the pads suitable for everyday journeys, motorway driving and enthusiastic weekend road use.
Improved Resistance to Brake Fade
Repeated braking generates heat, which can affect friction performance and pedal consistency.
EBC’s high-friction Yellowstuff compound is designed to maintain reliable braking characteristics under the demanding temperatures associated with fast-road driving.
For Nissan GT-R owners who enjoy spirited driving, this can provide greater confidence during repeated braking.
Progressive Braking and Pedal Feel
Braking performance is not simply about stopping power. Predictable pedal response and controllable braking force are equally important.
EBC Yellowstuff pads are designed to deliver progressive braking characteristics, helping drivers modulate braking pressure smoothly.
This makes them a practical option for owners seeking performance without sacrificing everyday road usability.
EBC Brake-In Coating
Yellowstuff brake pads feature EBC’s Brake-In surface coating, which helps accelerate the initial bedding process when the pads are fitted to suitable brake discs.
Correct bedding remains essential to achieving consistent friction, appropriate pad-to-disc contact and long-term performance.

Nissan GT-R R35 Rear Brake Pad Compatibility
EBC Yellowstuff DP41110R is listed for selected Nissan GT-R R35 applications within the 2012–2020 model-year range.
The GT-R R35 uses Nissan’s 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged VR38DETT V6 engine, but rear brake specifications can differ by production year, trim and factory brake package.
Some applicable GT-R variants may include Premium, Black Edition and other models equipped with compatible rear braking systems.
Important fitment information:
- Check the original rear brake pad shape and dimensions before purchasing.
- Confirm that the installed rear calipers are compatible with DP41110R.
- Verify the original brake disc material and specifications.
- These pads are not suitable for carbon-ceramic brake discs.
- Nismo and Track Edition vehicles require particular attention because their braking specifications can differ.
- Confirm the exact vehicle application using the manufacturer’s catalogue or original equipment part number.
A model year or trim name alone does not guarantee compatibility.
EBC Yellowstuff vs Standard Nissan GT-R Brake Pads
Original equipment brake pads are developed to meet Nissan’s requirements for the vehicle’s standard braking system, balancing performance, durability, refinement and operating conditions.
EBC Yellowstuff takes a performance-road approach, concentrating on strong friction characteristics, confident cold response and resistance to fade.
For GT-R owners seeking a more performance-oriented replacement compound, Yellowstuff offers an alternative worth considering.
However, the ideal brake pad depends on the way the vehicle is used. Yellowstuff is not specifically designed as a low-dust pad, and braking results depend on the complete system rather than friction material alone.
Explore our Brake Discs and Pads Complete Guide to understand the differences between brake compounds, disc construction and braking performance.
Are EBC Yellowstuff Brake Pads Suitable for Track Days?
The EBC Yellowstuff Nissan GT-R R35 rear brake pads are primarily suited to performance road driving.
Although Yellowstuff has historically been used in occasional motorsport applications, EBC’s current recommendations favour Bluestuff or dedicated EBC Racing compounds for regular track-day driving.
Circuit use places substantially greater thermal demands on brake pads, discs, fluid and calipers than ordinary road driving.
For GT-R owners planning frequent circuit sessions, a complete track-focused braking setup may be more appropriate.

EBC Yellowstuff Brake Pad Installation and Bedding
Correct installation and bedding are essential when replacing the rear brake pads on a Nissan GT-R R35.
Before installing the new pads, the existing brake discs should be inspected for excessive wear, cracks, scoring and heat damage.
Brake discs must be within their specified service limits and compatible with the replacement pad compound.
Check the calipers and associated hardware for correct operation. Follow the bedding-in instructions supplied with the EBC pads, allowing the friction surfaces to develop proper contact before demanding braking use.
Professional installation is recommended, particularly on vehicles equipped with high-performance multi-piston braking systems.
