Message Thank you!
Those wheels are definitely much easier to clean up :P

Yes, they are the VR4 kit I have in the front. Putting aside the advantage of running larger rotors that we know, I like the extra braking torque leverage.
It takes less effort to hit the brake pedal. They lock and engage the front ABS more easily at lower speed. The advantage is at the higher speed braking until
a) vehicle speed slows down and reach the tires' max traction (aka low speed braking) or
b) until the tires reaches their max traction at higher speed still (100mph+), which is less likely due to vehicle' weight and speed.

Over all, I like it, except I need lower offset in my front wheels, 18x8+30mm, to clear the calipers. For now, I add 8mm spacers to clear, but I will switch to ProjectMU's R34 12.75 rotors and move my calipers back to Nissan offset spec, and ditch the spacers.

Pffft, heck, like I ever track my Z to need the larger rotors. I guess that makes myself gay...
