the 89 turbo might have used a slightly larger rotor, other than that I think you got pretty good brakes to start with, the frotns you can upgrade to z32 but the back unless you go custom you have little room for improvement, also keep in mind larger brakes means larger wheels to clear the hardware

I'm not sure if Z32 wheels are 15" or 16"... if they are 16"s then the z32 front brakes probably will not fit in your stock wheels.

but I thought Z31s stop pretty darn well for stock brakes. even good enough for autocross or drifting. if anything I'd just upgrade to crossdrilled or slotted rotors with a better brand brake pad

I thought you were askihn about the rears, the front z32's I believe bolt on but require a thin spacer to center the callipper on the rotor

and I believe you'll have to have 16" wheels to clear them, all z32 and z31 turbo wheels came in 16"
