SAME  
z32,gtst skyline  
r32 GTR has a slightly different caliper, though the rotors and pads are the same.  
Different  
R33 GTRs and up are BREMBOs! and some 32 v specs

^^^  
i was talking about the rears, sorry i was unclear

they are SIMILAR, but the brembo REARS have a thicker rotor, but a stock 300zx tt rotor will work in a pinch. also i noticed when i order PADS for the REAR of a 350z brembo(for my R33 gtr brakes) the offered to me in two thicknesses; i ask for the thinner, but maybe a thinner rotor with the thicker pad may work?

on a side note the r32 GTR front rotors are LARGER DIA then 300zx TT rotors.

Hope this was helpful!

I had also heard r33 gts-t as well as the r32 grt are larger dia rotors…
