what did i do?
Lastnight i tried to do a burn out with my Z. I dump the clutch and hear and big clonk sound and stall out. I don't know what cause that sound. It seems like it was comming from the differential, but i'm not sure. now the car runs really rought. I hear a hissing sound when i go in 1st gear. At high speed it shakes like crazy. and i think i hear the differential hitting the car.
Any insight on what i've done?or how to fix it?

Probably broke the diff mount. It's kind of a known weak link. You can get new ones from most of the usual suppliers like Motorsport, et al. If it's not a road-trip car and you're in to the burn-out thing then consider getting a solid differential mount. Before you start ordering replacements, though, get under the rear and see if anything else was broken at the same time. There are several bushings and mounts that might have gone to the parts counter in the sky. Also a good time to consider going urethane on all your rear suspension bits. Of course, while the suspension's all apart, powder coating the parts, converting to coil-overs and rear discs would be nice, and... Go down the "and also" road as far as you'd like or as far as your wallet can carry you. Whatever you do, don't drive it anymore until you get that new mount and any of the other broken bits around it replaced. Good luck!
