I know the pics aren't perfect but hopefully good enough.
From what I can gather these calipers (although appear to be painted) aren't the original. Did they change the calipers for '92? Does anyone know what they may be? R33 or Z32 perhaps?
And does anyone recognise these coilovers? I've never heard of them. Googled them but didn't come up with much useful info.
Thanks for any info!

you need to spend more time when you make a post rather then just copying and pasting.

those are bridgestone npg coilovers
i do not know what calipers you have, if they are on a skyline are they just nissan ones with the name ground off?

Totally different shape. Much smoother, more rounded. There is no evidence of the "NISSAN" being ground off either. Usually there would be some evidence or deformaty from that.
They look much bulkier then the oem GTR calipers too.
I'll pop one open and see if there are any part #s on the pads or the caliper itself.

Here are some more pics I took today. I used my "good" camera so hopefully the added details will help.
Also why is there a coupling in the middle of the breakline and why wouldn't it fit on that stud when it really looks like it should (see pic.)
I'm just trying to figure out what's going on so I can get some pads, rotors and lines.
Thanks guys!

is it a gtst or a gtr?
They look a lot like non type m calipers

They're on a '92 GTR. What's a "type M"?
I'm guessing that isn't a good thing either is it?

I came across a pic of an R33 GTS caliper. It looks IDENTICAL if you shave the NISSAN off of it.
Why would someone remove R32 GTR calipers and replace them with R33 GTS calipers? Is there some advantage to this?

A Type M is a GTS-type M. McFly mentioned a GTS which is a model below the type M.
