Zx 5 speed swap

Hello people,

I just swapped in 5 speed close ratio and i wanted to ask about the shifter solution. Currently using the 4 speed shifter and it works but i can tell there is some tension with the shifter boot. Is there a better shifter out there (after market) or what’s the solution?
Yes the shifter the came with the gearbox (zx shifter) will not work at all.
73’ 240z
Thank you

R200 diff on ‘73 240z

I have a 3.9 r180 i was planning to install but i found out that my 240z is equipped with r200. I owned a 280z before and it of course had r200 but rear suspension set up was different from 240z i have now. For example the mustache Bar is flipped on the 240z compared to the 280z set up.
My question is when people covert from stock r180 to r200 do they change the mustache bar and a few other things or is it bolt on? What is the length of the drive shaft for r200 and r180?
