You will need the driveshaft flange off of any 87-89 differential. Be sure to torque it to specs when reinstalling it.

Thanks alot thats why i like this forum alot of helpLA AVIONETA -
One other small thing… The transmission cross-member on the 30A also won't line up on the 84-86 cars. I know this is true for 84-85 cars, and pretty sure for 86. This is a pretty simple fix; slot the transmission isolator holes where it attaches to the transmission and also slot the crossmember holes. This will give the 1/2" or so needed to get it to line up with the holes in the body.
I 2nd the "make sure to torque the pinion nut" comment. It's essential. Put some loc-tite on it or consider replacing it, as it's a swedge nut meant for one time use. -

I'm running into this problem and the mount is NOT working on my 86. Does anyone know if the later mount will work?

My 86T didn't line up properly with the 30A. I had to slot the holes on the trans and then it fit.

Put some muscle into it, the crossmember and mount works fine stock.- VG30DET (HE341) 86 300ZX - 1982 280ZX Turbo - Headered NA 1986 300ZX 2+2 - 2000 Xterra - -
I think Mike may be referring to my 86 N/A there but yea. 3/86 and the 30A from my old 88T bolted in perfectly fine.

Mine is a 3/86 and it's off. Engine mounts are threaded in and steady. I noticed that the 84-86 and 87-89 brackets have different part numbers, so I am wondering if that's where the discrepancy lies.

Shit is really stressing me out.

That could very well be the problem. I don't know what year mount Mike was using but mine is an 88T.Hot Red 1987 Turbo VG30ET, VG33 heads, Isky 280/280 cams, SBE, gt3582r, Pucker factory intake/exhaust manifolds, ms3 pro goldbox, making 610whp at 29psi on e85 -
