Default Anyone experience REV limiter like problem exiting corners?

This weekend I took my Z to the track to try out my new HKS coilovers. The car is handling great except now when I try to accelerate out of the corners my revs starting bouncing like I am on the rev limiter but I am only at about 4000 rpm. I feels like VDC is kicking in but I have it disabled and I had a full tank of gas so it couldn't be a fuel pickup problem. It only happens when I try to accelerate hard out of a corner. I have tracked the my Z many times and this is the first time this has happened. Anyone else experience something similiar to this or have any ideas?

Your probably right, it just that I never had it happen before. I am going to pull the VDC sensors and try it again and see if it happens. I am also going to check and see if the clutch is slipping.

I believe the sensor is under the console in front of the hand brake. I will look again in the service manual and I will try to post the page from it.

That's right Just remove center console and it is the black Bosch sensor that needs to be unplugged. Your VDC and Slip lights will stay on permanently. Center console comes out with 5 phillips head screws (two in rear on either side of console, one under ashtray, and two more on dash visible after pulling up on silver shift boot cover. HTH

It is probably the VDC/TCS kicking in, it happens to me sometimes just on the street on normal corners, someone told that it was probably due to suspension mods making the car stiffer and maybe slightly causing the wheels to lift on some conditions making the VDC/TCS kick in.
