Please use the search function. I'm normally not quick to throw that out there, but using the search "300zx brakes" in the Tire/Wheel forum delivered 27 threads. Search then read. All the info is well documented and worth the time it takes to search and read. I did

Well if homework was done, you should have discovered:

30mm or 26mm is your choice it does not matter.

If you are attempting to fit them with stock wheels on an S13, I refer you to this:

From my knowledge on S14's I think the 26mm should just clear.

30mm you will need new wheels or spacers.

You do not need to have 5 bolt hubs. You can just get the 300ZX rotors redrilled to utilize the 4 lug pattern.

Don't forget the conversion lines needed as well.

A very good resource for this is:

I hope this helps.
