That's an awesome find dude.
If anyone is interested or frustrated so much that they are tired of looking for a 300ZX Turbo LSD in the Junk Yards...
Reider Racing in Michigan carries the Precision Gear Power Brute LSD assembly (Same as the Turbo 300ZX) for $602.95 + shipping. If you're not in MI, that'll save about $50 in taxes.
This is the 12mm unit that can be fitted out with 2mm spacers to fit in our 10mm R200's.
70-7/76 R180 Part # LOM55E = $458.95
7/76-8/83 R180 Part # LOM55L = $584.95
8/87-8/89 R200 Part # LOM59-12 = $602.95
And they have them in stock.

I can't decide whether or not to go with the R180 and stock 3.36 pinion gears on my 240z or drop in the 3.90 300ZX R200 I've got in the garage with the PG LSD...
I'm thinkin' I'll get mad gas mileage with 3.36 R180 and a stock '83 Nissan 5 speed tranny...
Gear__1st_____2nd_____3rd_____4th_____5th
'72___3.592___2.246___1.415___1.000____N/A
'83___3.062___1.858___1.308___1.000____0.745
Once I upgrade the distributor to an E12-80 and a new 2 stage vacuum advance, I would expect to get 30mpg out of my 33 year old car...
Someday I'll make a decision...

yeah if i find another ill be shure to grab it ill keep a look out. this one is in great cond seals dont leak one bit i took the cover off and no signs of slightest wear on the gears no marks nothing looks like its hardly been used the oil was very clean etc this is going to be a great rear for my v8 swap do i use these axles or half shafts i noticed these axles are alot thicker stronger looking than the ones on my 81 280zx

Yes, the 300ZX Turbo CV axels are stronger than the 280ZX Turbo CV axels. But you'll have to do some fabricating to get the 300zx CV's to work on your 280ZX.
I haven't had any trouble with my 280ZX CV's so far. But I do have 2 spare sets and a set of 300ZX axels in the event I blow the others up.

Electronic ignition module from a '79 to '81 280ZX and a two stage vacuum advance module that will pull vacuum from both sides of the carb in addition to the centrifigul advance in the distributor.
Normally, with a single stage vacuum advance, usually pulling from the air box, combined with a centrifugal advance, when you come off idle, the vacuum advance immediately retards and the centrifugal advance kicks in. Unfortunately, there's usually a stumble as the transition is made between the two when too much retard is in play before the centrifugal advance can 'catch-up'.
The beauty of this system is its ability to balance minute vacuum changes generated on both "sides" of the throttle butterfly (live vacuum vs. ported vacuum.)
The result is a constantly changing advance map which retards timing during periods of medium to heavy throttle loads, while allowing the highest advance number to occur only during light cruise throttle loads which will significantly improve fuel economy.
How's that?
