I didn't see where that was said, but I wouldn't doubt it. The calipers are identical appearance-wise, the Skyline caliper is just 2mm wider to accomodate the rotor.

Anybody know about clearence issues with the skyline caliper vs. Z32 or brake lines? How to hook it up...

The calipers are 2mm wider, so clearance is similar. Most wheels that clear Z calipers will clear Skyline calipers. They hook up the same as Z calipers.

Because of the larger caliper size the skyline caliper SHOULD disspate heat faster even though its using the same pad??
|
The caliper itself is only a fraction larger (only in width) than the Z caliper. The rotor on the other hand will have better heat capacity (because of increased mass) and quicker heat dissipation (because of increased surface area).

Hmm...Z32 rotors work with skyline calipers?

Probably, but what's the point? There is no point. Why pay extra money for a 4-piston caliper that's designed for rotors 2mm wider, when you can get an identical 4-piston caliper that's designed for the rotor you'll be using. The Skyline rotor is the best part of it's braking system, and if you're not using that then it's not worth it to get Skyline calipers IMO.
