Since no one else has posted here I'll help you out as best as I can. The only rear big brake kit I know of is by one of our own forum members who has his own website with the kit here:

http://blehmco.com/rear_kit.htm

It is definitely pricey though.

You wont even't really need a rear kit if you just put the 300z calipers on 300z rotors. Move up a cobra 13" rotor bbk and then you need a rear kit. I have the front brackets

not without significant mods. I used to sell a rear kit that made the 300ZX rear brakes work on a 4/5 gen, but I quit making them due to the high cost and low sales numbers. Just not enough demand to justify the cost.

Use a higher friction pad in the rear.

It's all relative to the pads you have up front. It takes a much better understanding of braking systems than the average Joe has to start fiddling with bias via compound selection, but its doable.
you have to know what you're starting with up front for one.
