Depending on the shop I'd say at minimum $200 if it's just to change them, if there is more work to be done, say turning the rotors then maybe a couple hundred more bucksChanging brake pads?
There's no way to answer that until the brakes are inspected. Be aware that brake shops want to change every part in sight and they will be sure to tell you how 'unsafe' your brakes are in their present condition. Many visits will cost around $400.
Look carefully at what parts and work they want to do and don't go for all their sales points.

Check on Nissan Z forums and see if there's someone that will help you do it yourself. It's not that hard.

there are two answers really if you need rotors which is typical on non-brembo models it could cost $200.00 per axle plus additional fees for the rotors on the front only which tend to lip out and become to risky to machine.. although brembo models have better design and should be able to machine rotors..
