Does your rear look like this (black streak marks)?

If so then it's your bushing wearing out and you'll need to replace it. Common cause of wheel hop in our cars.

I replaced the stock bushing with the bright blue circular piece you see on the subframe, no more wheel hop after this.

You can buy the stock replacement or you can buy the SPL solid ones I have. Z1auto, a sponsor on my350z, carries them.

There are four smaller ones that secures the diff housing, but those are not the ones that will cause a wheel hop. You can replace those as well since the unit will be out. I did it on mine.
