What tire pressure are you running at?

NyceP26 · 08-27-2002, 01:46 AM

mm and kyb agxs did it for me. Also check your tire psi too like mentioned above.

well thats another issue when i was runnin drag radials if i set them at 17 psi i would lose 4 tenths (prob ***** i could have launched harder) but w/ street tires i run them at 25-30psi

you could also look into having a set of traction bars made. BigBoost has made his own. if ur interested do a search for the post.

What cured my wheel hop was es control arm bushings, solid motor mounts, lower tire presure and 600 lb rear GC did the trick for me.

I just recently had my front bushings changed and i would defniately recommend it to everyone else. I havent taken it to the tracks yet but just driving around on the streets you can definately tell that the car is a lot stiffer now. One of my control arm bushings were so worn out that you can shake the whole control arm back and forth, similar to a worn out wheel bearing but worse!

Stealin's G load brace works pretty well for wheel hop. I plan to also get some motor mounts and see if I can get rid of some more.

i thik the best thing you can do is lower yur tire pressure OR invest in some 40 dollar polyurathane motor mounts.

i have the es mount inserts only (front and back)and get some nasty wheel hop if i really get em goin.

ALLMOTORSENTRA · 08-30-2002, 05:40 PM

i will be getting the nismo mounts soon

I was running almost 2 degrees of negative camber and I had alot of wheel hop at the track. I found in my experience that when I ran closer to zero negative camber and zero for toe, I had less wheel hop or no wheel hop at all.

I'm just about wheel hop free with jwt mounts... and blown shocks

ALLMOTORSENTRA · 09-01-2002, 08:28 PM

last weekend at the track i was runnin stock camber and zero toe and wheel hop felt worst. best 60ft was 2.3

If you can't afford JWT's hollow them out. Then pour your own. That's what it took for me. The right tires at the right pressure matter too.
I haven't ahd the control arm bushings, but Imagine they would help imensely as well.

i had the stock mounts filled with solid plastic but apon inspection i found the bolt sleeve has broken off of most of the mounts and reamed out the hole.Good thing i work for nissan *** i can get the nismo mounts real cheap(they r really jwt mounts) the nismo catalog even sells s3's
