300zx turbo swap question

hey everyone. im new here, and i just bought a 85 n/a. everything is great, except the engine has 230,000 miles on it. i was wondering if its possible to swap a turbo from a z31 into my 85 n/a? i know someone with an 84 n/a with 130, 000 miles on it but would it be easier/cheaper to swap that into my 85 n/a and build my own turbo? if its not possible, what are some good bolt ons to give my n/a some extra h/p? another thing, does anyone know of any good catback systems for my 85 n/a? ive heard hks is good but i cant find anything...any suggestions are apreciated.
thanks
adam

This may be the most asked question for this car. Yes, it can and has been done: http://www.redz31.com/pages/turbo.html

230,000 should be fine if everything is in working order and is healthy. A compression test would a good idea.

As for modifications on an NA: http://z31.com/modifications.shtml

The rest of you can thank me later..
