The Twin Turbo's are
now the new generation of ball bearing style that spool up
considerably faster because of the reduced friction.This allows the
reduction of turbo lag as well helping acceleration low in the RPM
range.
Nissan has constantly raised the high performance bar for others to
try and follow. The original 'Z' cars were the forerunners to the
race to win buyers over with high performance and handling in an
affordable package that had style on its side. The popular Twin

compared to the All Wheel Drive 'Godzilla'
