Default Z wants to fly away

Ok so when I go about 100+ everything on my z feels light, or rather the steering takes no effort and it doesnt feel like my z is very solidly planted. Like it ones to fly off, also it makes it very hard to keep it going in a straight line. Also the steering wheel takes no effort to move. How can I fix this? Thanks for all your help. But this is really bugging me and makes me not want to drive the z at all.

Three reasons i can think of that might cause this, alignment out of wack, speed sensitive steering not working, or u are getting some kind of lift at those speeds.

I got new wheels/ tires and need an alignment so will do. No idea on that parts. And yes my friggin z is lifting off at those speeds, what can I do to create more down force. Nismo wing? New lip? I currently have the stock spoiler and no lip.

The aero package consists of a tiny chin spoiler addition, a pair of diffuser in the rear and the rear edge. It makes a big enough difference to lower the Cf from .30 to .29.

Question, how new are your new tires ? Have you worn the demolding agent off ?

Alignement should be the first thing to check.
