Nissan Skyline R32 & R33. You would probably find R32 GTS-T model the best suited as they come off a similiar sized & thickness rotor.

All the calipers are 4 piston. R32 GTR & R33 GTS-T have calipers that were off 300mm rotors.

Nissan 300ZX Z32 Calipers from same era are the same.

It's relatively easy to spot the smaller sized calipers(R32 GTST/Z32) as they have shallow ribs. All the other calipers have smooth housing.

Calipers are labelled with Nissan or Sumitomo.

Hope that helps.

I picked up this knowledge from building a Cobra with Skyline rear end, front uprights & Skyline brakes front & back.

The reasoning for changing caliper is that it will not only help correct the brake inbalance, but you also end up with a very small & lightweight caliper that will reduce unsprung weight and perform much better than the old Jag calipers.
