Otherwise, ask Z1 since they swapped to GTR parts for their Time Attack car.

I was wondering since I found a set of brake callipers, pads and rotors from an R35 for reasonably cheap, I wondered how difficult it would be to mount them.

I understand they are different size callipers, and the amount of fluid to push the pistons different from the R35 to Z34, however correcting the bias isn't hard to do. Countless BBK's require the same thing. If you upgrade to a BBK on the front of cars, 95% of the time, the bias has changed, and even sometimes resulting in poorer stopping distances. If you pull the ABS fuse and stomp on the brakes, your tires should lock up at the same time. If they don't, you can purchase a proportioning valve to fix that, which is very inexpensive.
