"Bellhousing" not "tailhousing". No, the 84-86 Turbo Z31 is the only car on that planet that uses that particular transmission, all the other nissan manuals don't have removable bellhousings (well the series 1 240z did have a completely unique removable bellhousing but it also fits nothing else), and the S130 turbo uses a completely different bellhousing and the T5 has a different input shaft. So your options are find a used 84-86 z31 turbo trans and harvest the bellhousing, or find any other z31 trans and driveshaft and swap the whole thing out, many people swapped form the T5 in the Z31 as the input shaft has a neckdown that was prone to failure when you start making big power. You can also use the manual trans from one fo the v6 200 sx's or trucks.
