Gary's right, they're 1/4-28 x 7/8" long. Just make sure the head fits a 3/8"
socket or you might have a clearance problem getting a socket on them. Some
"non-automotive" bolts have heads that are one size larger than automotive
hardware. The manifold nuts are a good example of this.

Neil,
They're a standard hardware item. B The Nissan Parts Manual doesn't list the
size, but I'm guessing they're 1/4-28 hex head machine screws. B If you don't
have any you can check, let me know and I'll try to find my brake part
spares and check one for you.
I don't think the torque on these is particularly critical -- the threads
are in carbon steel, so it's not like you'll strip them out unless you
really lay into them.. These bolts should have split lock washers on them.
Once you've compressed the lock washer, you're done. B Another little bit
doesn't hurt, but it is not necessary to do much more than flatten the lock
washer.
