Are you hearing things again? I told you to lay off that sh*t.


Do you have VDC?

Thudding? You must be talking about wheel hop. Why are you peeling out at Infineon...oh wait, you must be going to the drags.

Try lowering your tire pressure and get stronger shocks to absorb the wheel hop.

I got mad wheelhop when I was at infineon too and at Sac raceway. You have stock tires huh? They tend to hop around a bit and, as we like to say in the industry, suckass.

Sure sounds like wheel hop. I seldom have it. I have more of a problem with total loss of traction in first and second. You want the tires to spin slightly, but not a whole lot. I have a nismo s suspension and pilot sports, so that helps. Probably why I don't have wheel hop often.

hmm, I had a feeling you Z33 guys didnt have these yet, the main culprits for wheel hop are the soft rubber subframe bushings, us Z32s have used poly subframe bushings bushings or solid aluminum subframe locks to get rid of it, I'd be really surprised if they didnt have these available for the Z33 by now since it has the same type pf rear subframe and also has wheel hop, search around
