Though I'm not doing it the same way they do in that link. The offset of the rotor is a lot less using the EVO rotor which brings the caliper closer to the back of the rim. My rims would fowl. I'm going for a slightly larger diameter rotor, and having the caliper at the same depth as the stock 4 pots. I've get Z32 rear calipers, so don't see any need to change to the EVO ones.
I've got the calipers, waiting on the rotors, and then I'll confirm my adapter measurements. It's a back burner project so its not going to be done in a hurry.

^^I am doing this conversion in the next 2 weeks - exactly as on the Zilvia link posted by rhocken. Front only.
I have been looking into it for 12 months! Got the EVO calipers from Ebay USA last year, heaps cheaper than the STi's.
Should be a very effective upgrade if you need bigger than the available Nissan 4 spots and much cheaper than the GTR Brembo's which are so pricey at the moment.
I have looked into using the GTR 324mm rotors - Im guessing thats what you are using rhocken - much more complicated bracket needs to be made i.e not for the home handyman unless you have a mill. I will probably make those later so I dont have to run spacers to fit my road wheels.
