Hey, quick question.
When I launch the car, instead of getting a nice smooth tire spin, I get a relatively bad bounce and skid? Feels like the tire is giving and grabbing at the same time.
I am running stock 17" enthusiast wheels and tires (Potenzas).
Traction control is off, road is dry, about 50F outside.....tires do the samething when it's 70F also.

Thanks.

 

So what is the question?

 

sorry...
So why do my tires bounce and skid? Instead of a nice smooth spin.

 

Try applying the gas a bit slower and smoother I think, instead of just flooring it, you need to let the tires get the grip

 

I would like to know if this has something to do with just 350z's or is it becasue of bad launching skills. The one time I dropped the clutch at around 5,000 rpms to see if I could spin the rears, I got such horrible wheel bounce, I never tried it again because I thought I would damage the car. Ever since, I wondered if it was becasue the Z's tires get such good traction (doubt that), not enough power, or what? I know you can drop the clutch at high rpm's with other RWD cars (4th gen WS6 trans am's for one) and you will peel out with out the wheel bounce.....

 

it is a property of Zs, has to do with all sorts of things, but mainly play in bushings from both the suspension and the engine mounts.

need to redo the suspension bushings to solve that "problem"

I type it like that, cause its only a problem when your doing something you really shouldnt be doing. there is no reason to do a burn out in the Z. unless you have drag radials on there for some reason and are at the track with a water pit(which will solve the wheel hop)

 

for what its worth, the 5at doesnt have wheel hop when doing burnouts.
