everything from 84 to early 87 should fit, I'm also assuming they are both N/A's, but I havent touched a z31 in a while.

wrong!

there are differences in the NA and turbo shocks. You can't use turbo shocks in the NA cars.

NA = non-adjustable suspension.
T = electronically adjustable suspension.

Depending on the shock manufacturer, they'll either list their shocks as fitting NA vs T or non-adjustable vs electronically adjustable.

And the year doesn't matter as long as they're Z31s. So all years. 1984 to 1989.
