Just wondering is there a difference between both calipers? I have an S14 with 5 lug and 4 piston calipers for the front and 2 piston calipers for the rear. I looked at the 300ZX calipers and both look at the same size and length just that the 300zx calipers have nissan logo and the S14 calipers do not.

The link I posted is very informative, you should read it.

"The front brakes start out as a 9.8" vented rotor and single piston caliper. The 300ZX offers an 11" rotor with a massive 4-piston caliper."

"The rear brakes start out as a 10.2" non vented rotor with a single piston caliper. Upgrading to the 300ZX equipment awards you with an 11.6" vented rotor with a separate drum e-brake and a 2 pistons caliper."

And yes, both are 5 lug.
