Are there any Pick and Pull junkyards in your area? If I recall correctly, there are a fair number around the Queen city.

I have no idea where this place is located. I would advise you to jump on any 280ZX's that you might see, due to the 3:90 rear end.

P.S. Don't jump so high that you miss the car though.

For those in other states: When I first moved here from New Mexico, I was confounded by the whole "Upstate" thing. While no one has been able to explain the reasoning behind "Upstate," what it refers to is the Northern part of South Carolina. Watch the news, listen to the radio-everyone in northern South Carolina is from the Upstate. FWIW.

What really gets me is the term Kakalaki.

what year 280zx will work cause they all look different what will fit a 76 280z the junk yards here all have 80 and up i have not found a older model z and i live close to spartanburg sc

Romeo-when you say "Hybrid," do you mean you've got a different engine in there, like a V8, or something? Knowing this might help with suggestions for your diff.

This may be a better question to ask at hybridz.org if you havent already, they have an unbelievable amount of info on this kind of stuff, good luck.

HI Romeo,

I'm only 45 minute drive.

I have both a 3.54 and 3.9 diff already out of car if you're interested. Both in solid condition.....Let me know if you're interested I would think you need the 3.54, if you have a turbo 350.......w/o over drive.

$150 3.54

$200 3.9

PS I need funds for the ARRC this year...New Engine, tires, Will be lacking oil for my rusty driving ....

Any 280zx R200 diff should fit a 280z as long as it is currently fitted with a R200.
