Definitive GT-R brake answers?

I've been digging around FA and Zilvia for info on Skyline GT-R Brembo brake systems. I am speaking as an S14 owner.

The R32 GT-R V-Spec, R33 GT-R, R34 GT-R, G35 Sport and 350Z Track all come with Brembos.

What I've found:

-All the setups use a 324x30mm brake rotor.

-R34 GT-R, 350Z Track and G35 Sport are identical. Calipers, rotors, and all hardware. The fronts will fit if you enlarge the mounting holes; the rears require custom brackets and work.

-The R33 is the same pad/rotor as above; the caliper, however, has the proper holes for mounting on an S-chassis. Front and rear calipers are a direct fit.

-One GTR owner I'm talking to says the rotors for the R32 V-Spec setup are different, but can't pin down how. He is unsure. Pads fit, and I'm assuming the caliper is the same.

What I need:
-What brake lines do I use? Presumably I just need 300ZX conversion lines to get a standard fitting instead of the "banjo" type that the 240sx stock brakes use.

-What e-brake assembly do I use? Can I use a 300ZX drum (aren't they all the same as the skyline ones?)?

-Are R32 GT-R Vspec rears the same as R33 GTR rear calipers? In other words, do they bolt right up as well?

-For the rear Z32 ebrake, S14 owners use R33 GT-S (non GTR) lines (or Yanack ones, which are the same thing). For S13, use modded Z32 lines. If I need a skyline e-brake assembly, do I (s14) still use the R33 lines?
