Have you talked to the dealer about that? I believe Nissan USA has been investigating 6th gear crunches on the Z34. We ran into an engineer last fall who was up from TN to check out a couple in Detroit. Could be that high mileage would exclude you though.

That is the next step ......... car has extended warranty from new - paid an extra $1250 to extend engine and drivetrain warranty to 6 years and 150,000 klics.

ALso, have found a US-based wholesaler who sells the ball-joints .. EIBACH part number 7213025 and have the name of a local company who in theory wil carry the part, or at least who can order from the US wholesaler.
