Rather, the Nissan240Z 115mm C/W Quaife ATB differential automatically biases the torque away from the spinning wheel across the axle, to a constantly varying degree, and never locks.
The Nissan240Z 115mm C/W Quaife ATB differential has many benefits over a standard open differential, including maximising traction and minimizing wheelspin, eliminating torque steer and snatching in front wheel drive cars compared to conventional LSD units, and a maintenance-free design which retains the standard oil lubrication.
The Nissan240Z 115mm C/W Quaife ATB differential is proven in circuit and drag racing, rallying and road use, and is produced from Corus steel billets, and is CAD designed and CNC machined, then inspected to ISO 9001 standards.
Nissan then proceeded to keep the Z name going by contracting a restoration company in California to restore 240Zs at a loss and selling them at dealers which continued until its financial problem became known in 1998.
Nissan was however unhappy with the first design as they felt the car was considered too "retro" or too "backward" resembling a futuristic 240Z thus a redesign was underway.
Nissan's performance and motorsport division, Nismo, began producing performance and aesthetic upgrades for the 350Z shortly after its release.
The Japanese 240Z featured a twin cam L20 inline-6 producing 130 hp that came from the NissanSkyline and met FIA European racing regulations, while the US240Z had a L24 inline-6 with twin SU carburetors that produced 151 hp.
The first two generations (240Z/260Z/280Z and 280ZX) of Z-car were powered by a Straight-6, (part of the L-series of Nissanengines, which powered most of their vehicles until the early 1980s) with a displacement of 2.4 L in the first incarnation, and increasing to 2.6 L and 2.8 L in the 260Z, and the 280Z and ZX, respectively.
The 240Z, and to a lesser degree the 260Z and 280Z, were well-regarded for their light weight and good balance, which contributed to their speed and handling.
The S30 Nissan/Datsun 240Z (known in Japan as the FairladyZ and later in other markets as the 260Z and 280Z) are sports cars produced by Nissan Motors, Ltd. of Japan in the 1970s.
The 240Z and 260Z used twin one-barrel side-draft SU-like carburetors that were difficult to tune.
The HS30-H NissanFairlady 240ZG was released in Japan in October 1971 to homologate the 240Z for Group 4 racing.

The S30 Nissan/Datsun 240Z (known in Japan as the FairladyZ and later in other markets as the 260Z and 280Z) are sports cars produced by Nissan Motors, Ltd. of Japan in the 1970s.
The 240Z was introduced in 1969 with a 2.4 liter straight-6engine, rear wheel drive, and a stylish coupe body.
Production began in 1969, the 1970 240Z was introduced to the American market by Yutaka Katayama, president of Nissan Motors USA operations, widely known as 'Mr.
Conceived as an everyman's E-type, the "Z-car," as it became known, was targeted squarely at the U.S. market and was the first Japanese sports car to make serious inroads against established competitors, both homegrown and British.
In 1969, Datsun (the name under which Nissan sold its cars in export markets like the U.S.) had at best a tenuous toe-hold in the North American market, which was still absolutely dominated by America's Motor City-based Big Three.
Goertz is said to have deliberately scaled down the overall dimensions of what became the 240Z to something closer to those of a Porsche 911 rather than the E-type.
But if Nissan builds the car, it will be in the spirit -- and price class -- of the original 240Z, not the more recent $40,000-plus Z. The car likely would be rear-wheel drive, even though it would be built on the Altima's front-drive platform.
