If you are still running the R180 rearend, then you have to use R180 type half shafts. I don't know if the Ujoints themselves swap in from a ZX or if they are even replacable ujoints.

All R200 280Z and 280ZX halfshafts will interchange.

Some 280ZX's have an R180. I think those are the nonturbo automatic cars.
