Are they a brand new set? Reason I ask is that a brake job on a GTR is no joke....costs some serious $$$$ flow...close to $5G's....They change out the entire brake system replacing calipers, rotors pads, etc....they don't just change out the pads and resurface the rotors....Might be the reason why ur getting a good price on this set.....

Also what year is it.....prior to 2012 the GTR brakes are 380 mm (390mm 2012+), and consist of 6 piston calipers at the front and 380 mm, 4 piston calipers at the rear. The smallest set up I've read up on that cleared the brake set on a GTR are 18 's but they have to be the correct offset.....The ones I read up on were VOLK TE-37 18 X 9.5 +22 (Front) 18 X 10.5 +15 (Rear). This is clearing on a GTR chassis though....I'm not sure if the mod of this brake system on a Z Chassis would make a difference...... I personally would go with an aftermarket break system upgrade for the Z to avoid the headache of converting. ...I highly doubt this is a simple swap out. ....
