All Z31 transmissions are completely interchangable. They have no problems bolting up to the motor. One problem is they don't always mount to the body correctly. You may have to drill and tap new holes for the transmission mount. Another problem comes in when you try to mount the driveshaft. Each transmission has it's own output shaft size and overall length.

If you have a 2 seat car, you will need the 30A turbo trans driveshaft. The only thing left is to determine if your differential companion flange is correct for the driveshaft. The 84 to 86 had a different style than the 87 to 89 model turbo driveshaft. Get a differential flange off any 87-89 300ZX NA or turbo
