300ZX TT brakes
BMW rotors (redrilled to fit)
endless brake upgrade

have you done ANY research?

When you upgrade to larger rotors you are sacrificing handling for stopping power. You are adding weight (rotational mass) to your car! Unless you're making 400+HP you're wasting time, money and the handling of your car. Please go research before you add/remove/replace anything in your car.

well it's the same as if you're doing the swap for the 240SX any 90+ ZX will do. Search the forum for those that have done the swaps or try www.teamfc3s.org/forum

Seriously, WHY? Are you getting fade at the track and have tried better pads, better fluid and ducting? If so then sure, you need it, if not don't bother, it's $2k that's uselessly spent upgrading something that's already more than capable of doing what you want it to.

Better brakes don't make the car stop faster, better tires do.

look into getting the 4 piston brakes that came on the GXL, S4 GTU, S5GTUs, TII if you want better contact but like I said earlier unless you're pushing 400+HP you're wasting time and money. If your braking system is not good enough then look into better/wider tires.

I think he may be looking for the big brake look. I believe someone makes an adapter to run larger brakes, and Brembo makes a kit, I believe.

From a performance standpoint there is NO advantage to running larger brakes. With proper supporting mods, the stock size (for turbos, GXL, etc) is more than sufficient for even severe track conditions.
