I was told they are black with red NISSAN letters.

if they say nissan on them they arent from a gtr, and arent brembos, they are probably worse then what you have.
i think they bolt on though.

The z32 calipers are 4 piston calipers. we put them on the Z31s also. the z31 turbos have what looks to be the same brake caliper as my touring 350z. twin piston caliper. so woulden't the z32 4 piston caliper be better than the reg twin piston?
this could possibly be another brake up grade option. If u match a good pad and rotor to it.

I would not even bother using those brakes if they are the ones labelled "Nissan". While they are a 4 piston (Subaru's in Japan use a nearly identical caliper), the actual size of the pad theta is used is not much bigger than the OEM Z pad - I fail to see what benefit it will offer other than slightly improved intial feel.
All the while I thought you got Skyline Brembo's and were asking if they fit...sorry
