Also, I am very interested in 70-0 distances for base brakes.
Well I can tell you from experience, if you are coming off the Freeway into a 35mph S turn to a stoplight, and you expect the base 350z brakes to stop you from 70 mph, you barely make it...

Now I have the sport 370Z and the brakes are so much better..

I also had a 300ZX with aftermarket brakes and it was way better than the 350Z..

I just think that base brakes are fine unless you plan to push the car to it's limits, and with the power and the handling, these cars have a high limit..

Sport or aftermarket brakes are a must..

Maybe you should be more specific when you post.
