2008 Nismo wheel hop........
So me being new to the 350z platform can you guys tell me if this is a regular occurance for these cars? When you leave hard enough in 1st gear to break the tires loose it immediately goes straight into severe wheel hop. This is with the TCS turned off. Not a problem with the TCS turned on for obvious reason but needless to say it concerns me. Penny for your thoughts???

When I brake really hard and leave it in first gear, I don't depress the clutch cause doesn't everything have twin-clutches?. This is with both TCS on AND off. I don't understand. I shouldn't stall or anything.

But as to the OP's question: Never had much issue with wheel hop...there certainly can be some but it shouldn't be terrible. Try adjusting tire pressure?

Very easy fix , don't break traction in first gear.

you have to run to the closest market and get a gallon of oil based paint. then go home and deflate your tires. once youve done those 2 steps grab a Styrofoam cup and fill it up half way with mercury and drink it. soon as u feel the pain kick in get back in your car and see if that fixes your stalling issue. id post a DIY but im to tired right now.

to the OP, i have not encountered this, but it could be that your car sat in the dealership to long and got flat spots on the tires... did you buy it new? and only a short time ago? if it is flat spots, dont worry, they go away with wear... GL with it
