Those 300ZX pistons are quite heavy compared to the SR20 pistons. I was thinking around 11:1 compression ratio unless the head is shaved down.

I remember Mike Kojima had a problem with the 300ZX pistons coming apart on him. I hope it does not happen to you.

This is good. For where I live, 12.5:1 is too much compression.
