Yeah I have a friend who can get me a ridiculous deal on a set so I think that and a set of moton's will be my next purchase after that v.3 spoiler we saw on here. I don't plan on building or doing anything with the motor till after a full suspension is done. Can't wait for another couple of weeks and I'll have those bbs' looking nice on the Z. FYI flo, I'll be back I'm pretty sure by the 7-10th at the latest...

Stop-tech makes some of the best products in the industry.
I just can't recall a single negative comment regarding any
of their brakes on any forum, ever. The trophy kit is also
being used on a lot of gt-r campaign cars due to economy
also from what I know.
Brembo ain't cheap.

I know. I love brembo, but I can't justify spending $10-15k for a set of their race brakes when I can get damn near the same performance out of some great stoptechs. I'll be pretty tapped out if I get the moton's I want aswell. Not to mention I know for a fact that the stoptech 6/4 piston setup will fit with the BBS wheels I'm gettin from flo... 
Those things are gunna look sick with my setup. I have a San Marino blue MCR 380RS Nismo bodied Z. The gold GTR brakes would have looked so ballet though my heart aches cause it won't work lol

Done reading 
Congrats on the accomplishment.
+1. You and I think a like - even deciding on R35 calipers. I was about to do this on my R34:

I know a company in the UK that manufactures brackets [for Skylines] to retofit the R35 calipers. I was told they're just as efficient as the Endless-R products. They will fit the Z33 knuckle if they're the same as the R33/34 knuckles (to which I believe someone confirmed they were).
You're right about 19". Hell even 18s aren't worth it. I'll probably buy a set of light 17s for the track and keep my stock 18" GTR wheels should I decide to hit-up a meet.
I know someone mentioned that this topic went to **** but there was a lot of good info regarding brake manufactures DOs & DONTs. I was seriously looking at Endless since the R35 brakes don't seem to be what I expected them to be. Anyways, StopTech has made the playlist and I just shot them an email. 
Congrats on the accomplishment.
19's suck. point blank. I've run them for years. Tires are overpriced and performance
suffers BIGTIME.
I specifically set out for the perfect set of 18's and I really feel like these are close.
Trying to acquire a set of RGII's also.
I'd run 17's if I could ...
My paint sucks. I've had so many spot jobs, lips, bumpers, quarters painted its sick.
