Increasing your static negative camber isn't going to help all that much. You have to think of the arc that the hub goes through during turning, which is determined by the upper and lower ball joints on a Z32.

What you're really going to have to do to mess with this is move the top of the knuckle in, or the bottom of the knuckle out (without moving the ball joints). You really can't do anything without messing with the knuckles.

This will give you more negative camber without gaining more caster, and will change your steering axis inclination, keeping the loaded wheel more upright when sliding, which should give you better front traction.

Now your unloaded wheel will gain even more camber, so there's always a tradeoff.

It will also decrease your wheel clearance up top.

Basically it's going to take some measuring and some fabrication if you really want to mess with it. It's a lot easier to do on a McPherson setup.
