? about parts swapping

I hear all the time about parts that can be taken from 1990+ 300ZX's, but what about pre-90 models? On any given day, I can go to a local junkyard and find at least 3 pre-90 300ZX's, and I want to know what, if any, parts can be swapped from one. No, I don't have a 240 yet, but I should by the end of the month, and I want to upgrade the brakes and get an LSD unit (to hold me off til I can afford the KAAZ unit). Plus, the older Z's had a 4-lug wheel pattern, so if it's the same lug pattern, wouldn't the brake swap be even easier?

I don't think a Z31 to 240sx l.s.d. swap is possible. I'm pretty sure the Z31 has a R180 and the 240 has a R200.

Not to argue, just trying to reason this out, even if they're different model differentials, what's the huge difference? Clearance issues? Different output flanges? Different drive axle adapter?

Edit: BTW, what about the brake rotors? Isn't the Z31 a 4-lug pattern?

I really don't know why it wont work all i know is i read it just won't. About the brakes, I don't know about the Z31, but I hear maxima and some model Infiniti brakes fit.
