Well the simplest is the 87.5-89 300ZX Turbo's Clutch type R200, or any aftermarket R200 LSD dropped into any 75-89 R200 housing. While finding the Z31 CLSD is hard finding an off the shelf aftermarket unit for installation into an R200 housing is easy but expensive. 4 pinion open R200's are out there I couldn't tell you which cars they came in but I had one that come from one of the numerous z cars I've built or parted. I believe Gabe at TTT also has a kit for running the later short case R200 and CV's but I know nothing of the conversion.
Of course swapping to an R200 means using the 75-78 R200 Mustache bar or aftermarket piece form TTT or AZC etc.
The 81-83 280zx cv shafts fit the chassis with the matching companion flanges but they flanges need modified a bit. 84-89 Z31 Turbo cv's can and will work after flipping the tulip but require a highly modified or special built companion flange, Ross (RIP) of modern motorsports used to make these not sure if anyone else has stepped up but they are a tight fit and a better choice if you have adjustable LCA's and and camber plates allowing you to dial in a bit of breathing room.
