Re: M42 turbo or Sr20det
I'd be more than happy with 250-300hp its finding a manifold and read up on a turbo to use to run safe and not pushing itself at 250-300, so that's T28 out the way I'll scoop 200sx forums for a good T28 upgrade when they go above 300hp

Re: Fitting a medium case diff
The driveshafts and prop are the same regardless of the diff. The width difference is taken up by different output flanges, so as long as you get the medium case output flanges with the diff it will just bolt in. You may need to adjust the prop length at the collar nut, but you won't need to swap p...

Just to put this out there, If the Z3 uses the same rear axle would it not be better fitting an LSD from one of them being that bit newer if used with rear half propshaft and driveshafts
