The only person that I know who did the 300Z brake conversion is Y2KevSE but he did it on his 2K Max. If anyone could help you, it's probably him. Try to PM him.

You need 300Z rotors. You need to shave the rotors down 3 or 5mm(I forget). You also need to grind down the steering knuckle a little bit so it doesn't rub against the rotor when turning.

Cheaper route... 300ZX calipers plus 3000GT rotors and brackets.

Malik, lemme know if that works... I've been thinking the same thing... our MC is 15/16" already... are the TT at least 1"?

Furbiss112, if you already have the Z calipers... check out the 3000GT rotor kit using 'search'
