Man, it's too bad GP Sports stopped making those for the S-chassis.

Supposedly you can use the Driftworks knuckles with the Z32 rear brakes, but they require "modifications" to fit.

Since the rear is a multilink that could affect the camber and toe curves. The affect could, of course potentially be positive or negative, but negative is much more likely. IMO in the rear the way to go is to re-locate the subframe and modify the spindles.
Are you talking about using a longer ball joint/shank in the lower control arm? This would affect the suspension curves, but really the affect would not be large.

Most roll center adjusting control arms/ball joints only move the pivot point down by 15mm or so and that 15mm only increases control arm length probably 5mm effectively, which should be able to be offset by the adjustment of the inner heim joints if you have an adjustable arm. And if not, just adjust all your other arms 5mm longer.
