Welcome, but it helps to provide a bit more information. What kind of differential is in your Z? Is it one of the OEM units or does it have an aftermarket LSD?

Well, it's difficult to know what kind of parts are on your car if YOU don't know! If it's the stock VLSD (viscous limited slip diff), than 3 1/2 quarts of GL-5 80-90W should meet Nissan specs. There's no friction modifier or other additive required.

No, you don't need an additive for the diff.
