I once read someone say, "you only need them if you're a track ****" about the nissan 300zx brake upgrade.
but i would say thats the one to go with.
man you can get these parts anywhere, and there are read ups on the net everywhere.

Are you low buck? If so do a search and piece the kit together.

If you are new part style go to: www.pdm-racing.com

I am a total modify learn it the hard way guy so I searched and changed what I found to what I thought would be better. Man I am learning the hard way. Good thing is I am logging my findings and posting them on the 'net.

Look around for the Brembo Gran Turismo kit. Price is not a matter right?

Skyline is comparable to a z32 swap. Neither are straight bolt on.

Plus money is no object so go for the GT kit.

id stick with a Z32 or R32 brake conversion..drill and slot the rotors then use the money saved towards sumthing else, like engine upgrades or sum tires/wheels. BTW, is the Z32 caliper 4 piston?

That is you. You are saving cash. Like me.

Z32 4 pot.
Skyline 4 pot.
Q45 (2 pot don't quote me just yet info is on the way)

Endless is damn good.

There is another company. Something with a T maybe. Blue calipers and they are in the mags with a blue Silvia advertising their wares.
