Ok lately more then ever, if i lauch my car with any hint of wheelspin, i get wheel hop like a ****. It almost feels like the back of the car is going to break. I really dont remember this car ever doing this at all, and now its more then ever. My 2 questions are 1, what exactly could be causing this, and 2 (this is the hard part) I want to bring it in to service but how the hell do i tell them it only happens when my tires spin....there answer is going to be because im abusing the car (which i really dont, but occasionally get on it).

 

sounds like the vdc to me, is the vdc on or off when your doing this

 

off. trust me i know wat vdc feels like when it kicks it....this is straight up wheel hop, feels like the back bumper is gonna pop off.

 

Ive only Experienced Wheel hop twice and both were on the track. I have never really had Wheel hop on the road. It might be the brand of tire you are running, but i don't really know.

 

stock bridgestones with the 19's...06 with 6k miles on it. cars a baby.

 

i don't really get wheel hop unless i'm just being ridiculous with the launch. Launch at 2500~ rpms, and see if that helps. Just be smooth with the clutch and gas, and you should get a nice strong launch without bogging or hop.

 

My biggest problem with wheel hop was the tires. I got softer tires and it fixed the issue. Are you F/I?

Other fixes can be added or combined to lessen or eliminate the hop..
i.e. stiffer differential and subframe bushings, Adjustable shocks, stiffer springs, subframe connectors.

Good luck.

 

Thats Prob why i have never Experienced wheel hop on the street, Ive never launched my car on the street Ill be trying this out tomorrow

 

let me know how that works out please...cuz i dont remember my car doing this when i first picked it up...now its lethal lol

 

oh... I don't recall saying this was on the street.
You must be the only guy on a "performance" car forum that goes to the track.

Mid Ohio is all of 40 minutes away from my apartment in columbus.

 

could be cause of the cold. my stock 19's hop sometimes when i floor it just because the rubber isnt warmed up

 

yea this is what i was thinking too...i even tried lowerin the tire pressure a little bit but its still insane lol

and yes this is on the street.

 

wheel hop is due to a "give" in your suspension. torque develops and compresses your rear end upward. the rebound in your suspension will push it back down. most of the time, stiffer suspension parts cure the problem...the easiest part to replace being bushings. my 300z use to have horrible wheel spin until the performance shop guy recommended this fix.

 

Drive an 03 Cobra, then you will REALLY feel what wheel hop is....

LOL

 

yep...it is deflection in the suspension arm bushings.

unfortunately, no one makes a better bushing set. you only choice is to buy aftermarket arms.

I went with the SPC rear camber arms and it eliminated my wheel hop issues.

BTW, I think only the "sport" G35s have the problem....this is due to the limited slip differential. The non-sport package Gs don't get it because they just do the 1-wheel peel!
