hi, i'm fairly new to the z car scene so bear with me. I did read and search through the forums for the questions i'm about to ask. Maybe i'm just slow and stupid to understand so i hope i dont' annoy anyone.... So i have a'71 240z with a 280zx transmission and the stock r180 diff.. I'm looking to upgrade to a r200 and add a kaaz lsd. my question is.... 1. I live in teh great white north so parts are hard to come by. There is a guy parting out a '76 280z 2+2 4spd about an hour from where i live. What are the chances that there is a r200 diff in the car? I read that not all 280z's came with it. 2.So if i get a long nose r200 from a 280z, a kaaz lsd from a n/a 240sx would work... But would i have to use 300zx cv shafts or can i use the stock stub side shafts from a 280z? thanks!

hi, I decided to replace the broken speedo cable in my '71 240 z. Purchased a new cable from blackdragon, but i have 1 problem. The connector for my speedometer-end is different. The old one has a metal threaded end and the new one has a white plastic lock-in type connector. Obviously the plastic connector does not fit. The transmission-end connectors for both cable are the same. Do i have the wrong part? has anyone ever run into this problem? The part number for my cable matches with the one specified in the blackdragon catalogue.I searched the forums but didnt' find any concrete answers. I hope someone can help! Thanks
