I had a Quaife automatic torque biasing differential in my '95 Maxima. The product was guaranteed for life, even under race conditions. The warranty was "forever" transferable. I saw the item, and held it in my hands. I believe the Quaife ATB diff can handle an infinite number of 600 HP+ drag slick launches with aplomb.

Ok ... fine, since you're such a pal ... j/k!

Currently, the entire stock LSD unit I supplied them is at Quaife U.K. where R&D is located. They were shut-down for the holidays, so no words as of yet. I'll be sure to let yall know as I hear more from them.

Latest update.......Quaife UK is at the British Racing trade show through next week. So no real news, other than that they are VERY interested in bringing this unit to production ASAP. They also have a.......competitors LSD unit that they are taking measurements from. I can't say where it came from or which one.

Just an interim update ...

While there are no promises yet, the factory is alledgely plugging away at the final design.

Don't hold your breath too tightly just yet ... patience my young Padawans!

Cheers,

It's daily use is one of it's advantages, very quiet and unobtrusive at parking lot speeds. You won't even know it's there until you need it.

others, correct me if I'm wrong.

You are correct. My Quaife ATB was quiet, operated seemlessly, and unobtrusively. You feel it, though. There's no mistaking that. My car *jumped* out of corners hard. By the way, I'll be surprised if the new ATB for the G/Z sells for less than $1400.

been keeping in touch with Quiafe about every month or so, here is a response back from today:

"We have been busy sorting out all the differences between the different differentials. It appears that there is a automatic group of differentials and a manual group of differentials. There is a different offset for the AT's and the MT's. It looks like we are going to do units to replace the MT differential as a straight replacement. The AT guys, will have to change the ring and pinion to suit. If you have information opposing, please let me know."

Thanks for poting that cwmizner.

I'm also in constant contact with Quaife (typically every few days) ... supplying technical data and suggestions when they needed. Sorry, I didn't pass on the above message earlier because nothing has been literally set in stone just yet. From experiences, things could change in a matter of an eye blink. Although, I'm very confident that is in fact the direction they'll be heading. Let's hope production will begin soon!

We are very close ... start saving up folks!

p.s. no, we don't know how much it's going to cost ... haven't gotten to that phase yet.
