In a Sport or a Nismo this is pretty much only going to happen when turning with the outside rear planted but loaded, and with enough suspension travel such that the inside wheel is light.

In auto-x and track driving you should almost never see ABLS intervene, and even if it did you probably wouldn't notice. It won't prevent you spinning out if you are mashing the gas with VDC off. It is an issue for track drifting since you need maximum wheel spin, but in all other track cases it is a non-issue.


As someone with a non-Sport, open-diff Z, I can attest that ABLS definitely does come into play with VCD off. I find that it's pretty easy to provoke ABLS in VCD-off, low-speed, low-traction, tight-corner situations.
