I have been using a set of AP Racing 6 pot brake kit which come with a 14" rotor. Good stopping power. The pad I am using is Endless.
Brembo/Alcon and Tarox also have 6 pot kit for the Skyline. Tarox even has a 10 pot kit!!

I've got a set of Brembos for my car (front & rear discs). They are the F50 kit (used on the Ferrari F50). Though they are 4 pot, the front discs are 370mm which forced me to get a set of 19 in. wheels which I also have got now.

JUN sourced it from Biot who gets them from Brembo but rebadged. But for some reason my set weren't, so it has the 'Brembo' logo on the calipers. I waited over 6 months for them! Talk about patience...

I originally wanted a bigger brake system in Feb last year and after alot of complications I had ordered from and cancelled:

AP
Alcon
Performance Friction

Re: What is a good Break system?

why are you looking for brakes for a skyline if you don't own one, exactly?

brembo makes brake kits called the "f50" and one called "gran turismo", so the f50 kit is similar to the f50 brakes, but it's basically just a name for a kit...
