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.

Hi,
So it looks like either the Skyline R32 GTS-T or 300ZX Z32 calipers are the one's to go for.
Are the mounting points exactly the same as Jaguar - do they simply bolt on?
The current rotor size is 285 x 24mm.
Any other help/advice you can offer is appreciated.
Thanks again,
Simon
