As far as posi goes I was looking at a couple options... one being some kind of air locker like they use in offroad applications, the other being swapping in a *looks to see if anyone is paying attention...* toyota *phew* axle from the TRD tacoma, which not only has an electronic locker, but disc brakes on it as well. Only probs i have with the 2nd option are the fact it's toyota, and that I've heard from a friend with the TRD taco that the locker isn't all it's cracked up to be, which means I'll prolly be going with an ARB locker or a Detroit of some sort, if I can find one for the Nissan. Any 4x4 guys that know of any out there?

As for the turbos, I'm getting the settlement check from my insurance (for my Z) tomorrow, so I should be turbocharged by the end of june at the latest. I'll be posting pics & specs as there's a mustang chassis dyno in the same shop, and I'll make a couple runs to get the HP & torque figures. Right now the engine (with minor mods) is putting 143.3hp & 158.3 ft. lbs. torque down to the ground. (all figures taken at SWAT performance in Lancaster, CA at 3000 ft. elevation) FYI my mini has an auto trans too in case anyone was wondering. IMO, they're better for drag racing thanks to the torque converter... anyone wants to start a thread on that subject, put it in an appropriate area, I don't think this is the place though...
