Default Less Understeer?

Has anyone figured out the cheapest/best way to lessen the Z's Understeer without giving up other handling qualities?

well one guy said to remove the front strut. but then that other dude came on and said that was a crutch and just created negative camber. understeer is what nissan wanted since its more controllable than oversteer.

best way to eliminate it would be grippier tread, or bigger strut bars and sway bars. another simple solution is a little blip of throttle in second(or 1st) that always gets the back end way out of control.

You could go to a wider front tire also. Why not S03 PP's in 245/40/18 in front and 255/40/18 out back??
