BEWARE --- Urethane bushing kits on Ebay for $99

Need to re built the rear end completely. After all the help I have given in the past few weeks to my car club I expect a hand here and there.

Check the door plate to find out exact yea and build date. The zx tranny will fit without a custom drive shaft. The T-56 is the turbo tranny. You may need the zx drive shaft but I believe it's the 240 that needs the longer drive shaft to use the zx 5 speed tranny.

240z External Hard drive..
@ Sblake - I am glad you don't have a snuggie (snugZZie?) Having one would most likely have ruined your reputation. @ Zbane - Great Mod for the idea. Throw some neon lights in and we might have something.
