+1 for using the OEM bolts where available, also try Nissan if you can get part numbers, sometimes it's surprising what they still have. Be aware though, many are sold in packs of 10 (or even more) and even if you want one bolt, in most instances you'll need to buy the whole pack. Failing that, I've bought JNS and always been very happy with them: https://www.jnsfasteners.com.au/ A thread file and / or thread repair kit is a good investment too, many fasteners can be brought back to life if they have minor thread damage.

Cheap complete L28. https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/campbelltown/engine-engine-parts-transmission/datsun-280z-l28-motor-650/1280121863?ea=11034243&utm_source=trigger&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=saved_search

Im lucky Ive got all the Dandenongs in my 5km radius so spoilt for choices, only Silvan is out of reach.

One needs to make sure that the correct rating of bolt is used in each location, as coded on the head of the bolt. Using generic is a lottery. I would recommend re-using the existing ones where one has them, cleaned up or refinished as preferred. And hunting down the correct ones currently incorrect or missing with help from other Zed owners. Stainless steel fixings look shiny and nice no argument from me, but be sure to isolate from metals galvanized or zinc passivated.
