MA61 brake upgrades... again!

A useful tech article on a Yank forum... I'm speechless! 
Seriously though, check out this thread on the CelicaSupra forums (especially the second page):
http://www.celicasupra.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t= 4663
I expect many of you have seen this already, but I thought I'd flag it for those who haven't. In summary, it seems that R32 Skyline rotors will fit on MA61 hubs with a small amount of machining. Apparently the 4-piston calipers will fit with not much effort as well although there's not much detail on that part.
So what do you experts think of this? (Ed and GT, I'm looking at you!) I'm thinking that if I can find the components for a sensible price, I'd like to give it a shot. I'd also like to investigate R33 brakes, which are larger and apparently interchangeable? Not that I know much about Skylines...
I'm especially interested in this upgrade because the two major downsides actually work out really well for me. The first one is you have to re-drill the Skyline rotors to 4-stud, but for those of us doing the 5-stud upgrade that's not necessary (Skylines have the same PCD). The second one is the extra ~8mm offset created by the Skyline rotor hat which means you need higher offset wheels, and wouldn't you know it, I just paid for a set of wheels with +25mm offset! I was worried about strut clearance but that extra 8mm will help things a lot. 
Anyway, time to start chasing prices on Skyline brakes...
