I'm not sure what you are looking for. Brake pads are ubiquitous, your local auto parts store likely has several choices for this car.. All other hardware associated with the disc brakes is general available. For example:

Amazon.com: Beck Arnley 084-1191 Disc Brake Hardware Kit: Automotive Amazon.com: Beck Arnley 084-1191 Disc Brake Hardware Kit: Automotive

You have two issues as I see it. 1) Keeping the Shiro original as they are the most collectable of the Z31 series, and 2) keeping it mechanically safe to enjoy. Go to XenonZ31 Z32 Front Brake Swap and review the option of converting the calibers to Z32 units. Braking should actually improve. Hang onto the original hardware in case you sell the car or aftermarket parts become available for the original calibers. I haven't checked the part houses online, but I would guess rebuilt Z32 calibers are still readily available.

ken99- yeah i had original for some time and i had replace all the calipers to new but , i thought they would of come with the hardware that's why i thru it away then when i realize they didn't it was to late but i luckily found one it the junkyard so that's issue is done but as keeping all original had me board as been daily driver that i have customize some stuff but i have all original stuff in case i decide go back to original or sell it. But know you gave me the idea of z32 calipers.
