Upgrading Brakes

What do you think is the best path to go down with upgrading brakes? The previous owner of my z has had a boost upgrade (14psi) but left it on standard brakes, which has (no surprise) warped the discs. If I put 6 pot calipers on the front, will the front calipers fit the rear mounting (and discs?) And is the Skyline upgrade all four corners, is it pretty much a straight swap (I should have plenty of wheel clearance with the rims I have), and are they fairly easy to pick up?

    Generally you only upgrade the front calipers as upgrading the rears won't make a noticable difference. I have a set of R33 front calipers for sale, they are a straight swap for the stock ones. Give me a call if you interested ;) 07711 757010
