Tim,
So the discs are from the older skyline then? like early 80's i assume, R30? Have you had a look at the R31 skylines? They are vented, but im not sure about the size of them. Gettin the shims done for $10 is certainly going to be a cheaper way, and it may end up being more hassle getting the vented ones to fit. Up to you of course.
