Are Z32 brakes = R32 brakes?

Did some research, but couldn't find the answer. Is anybody know that R32 brakes are the same as Z32 brakes?

Thanks

I know, but nobody mention if they are exactly the same. I just curious if the bracket from Matblem will fit on R32? also i need to know which rotor i can use with R32 caliper.

Thanks

I can't say for sure if the bracket will fit or not. Based on my experience with the R32 GT-R rotors on my 3 gen and my S14, I'd say they won't fit.

BUT.
Also keep in mind the R32 has at least 3 different brake options.
R32 GTST has sliding 2-piston calipers (like the us-spec Z31)

R32 GT-R has 4 piston calipers, just slightly larger than US spec Z32.
11.75" x 1.25" rotor as opposed to the Z32 11" x 1.1" rotor.

R32 GT-R V-Spec has Brembo 4 piston calipers.
