Datsun/Nissan sold new diffs with a variety of gear ratios, and sold a larger heavier duty diff too, the OEM diff was the middle sized one that 510 drivers all lusted after since the 510 came with the small light duty diff. All NLA.

I sold the 240Z in August '79 and bought a '79 5.0 Mustang notchback.
My grandpa had a 510 before he bought his 914. Those are sweet little cars. I especially like the old 2000 Roadsters.

Going over this Z, I'm really impressed. It's a real sports car. The rear suspension in particular is interesting, Lotus influenced?
