Few Questions 88 Z31

[NissanFairladyZ32]

First off i bought my z31 and the last owner put the z32 wheels on the car beacuse he liked the way they looked, what is the offset on the stock z31 wheel ? it seems the z32 wheels stick in alot ... is the offset the same on both wheels? i would like to go back to oem wheels if it would not stick in so much, i do not want to buy spacers

Second, It seems my doorlock assembley has broken from the inside of the car ( i have to roll the window down and open the car from the outside) on both door panels, does anyone know if nissan still makes the inside doorlock asembley ?

Third, What Diff & Rear End Gears came on the Z31 NA 1988 it feels like i have a lsd, it seems as if i lose the rear end quite easy & i can whip the car around as easy as i could a NA Miata i used to have with an lsd, it feels as if both wheels are spinning, is that normal for an NA ?

Pics are Examples of The Ugly Offset on the Z32 Wheels!

Remove door panels. Look to see what's broken or missing or disconnected.

You don't have an LSD unless someone else put it in there.

I guess it does have the open diff, that would explain why you can lose it very easy,

is it common on an old z31 to hear the rear end cluck when you let go of the clutch too fast ?

Edit: Sorry. It's not in the wiki....

The most common areas to look at when experiencing the clunk.

* crossmember mounts * diff mount * transmission mount * engine mounts * driveshaft u-joints * shock mounts
