I cured the dreaded rear axle tramp!!!
Guys, some of you know ive complained bitterly about the horrible rear axle tramp in the Z when spinning the wheels in a straight line
I was out having a fun run, got far too much wheelspin, and it wasnt till i grabbed 3rd that i realised, hey the rear didnt judder like crazy off the line
hmmmmm
so i tried another launch with excessive wheelspin, and again no axle tramp. Maybe a fluke
we had the Melb meet, and lined up for a run with a fellow z tech member. Got off the line spinning the wheels right through most of 1st, then into 2nd they started spinning again, and once again no axle tramps
the only thing ive added to the car since my terrible axle tramping days was the Cusco sways and SPC rear camber arms
i dont think its the camber rods that have remedied this, since they use almost identical rubber incased ball joints to stock. Its got to be the 75% stiffer rear Cusco sway bar
FYI - im running Tanabe NF210 springs, Tokico Dspec shocks set about 5 turns from max hard, Cusco sways, SPC camber rods and toe bolts set at about 2 degrees,19" Volk wheels and Yokohama Advan V103 tyres
