Are you positively, absolutely sure of this statement?

Allow me to quote an authority on this subject. AZ-Zbum states,
"The Z31 came with three different manual 5 speed transmissions. All manual non-turbos used a 5 speed Nissan transmission (FS5W71C) which is quite reliable. The 84-86 manual turbos used a Borg-Warner T-5 5 speed (FS5R90A). The 87-89 manual turbos are internally, the same as the nissan transmission found in z32 turbos, trucks, pathfinders, etc (FS5R30A)."
I know this to be true. Therefore, "any shifter for a t5" won't "fit...", because $jared88Z$ specifically asked about a short shifter for the 88 Turbo model.

Now, go sit in the corner and read a FSM...

if you have a mill and some 1/4" thick aluminum plate you could make it work with ease.

This is a message board, not a text message. You don't pay for each space you send. Learn to make legible posts. If people can't read what you write easily, they'll be turned off and just ignore you.

May I recommend a book for you?

You guys are really nice you know that lol. If I can remember right this question has been asked a million times on here so go searching!

I think you can use a short shifter from an 240sx. Don't quote me on this though.
