They are the alloy calipers, which came in fitment for either 28mm discs (NA) or 30mm discs (TT).

 

I would contact Mike at MJP http://www.mjpauto.com , they are a club authorised Nissan Parts dealer, much cheaper than standard Nissan dealerships and knows Z's like the back of his hand.

how would i tell the disc size iv got 280mm discs dunno what width do i measure the cut out slot or somthing
