More Wheelhop with Sub-spacers?! - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

kandyflip445 · 08-20-2005, 03:41 PM

Well I just got my Greg Dupree subframe spacers. Put them in. Took a test drive. Stoped and launched it hard and got wheelhop. I didn't have that much before but now I can feel it...

I think my dampers maybe worn and I know the other bushings out back are all old and need replaced.

Any thoughts?

420sx · 08-20-2005, 05:17 PM

blown shocks in the back

kandyflip445 · 08-20-2005, 05:31 PM

I was thinking it might be that. Also, I have some really heavy subwoofers in my trunk. I think I might try and take those out and try it again.

420sx · 08-20-2005, 05:48 PM

nope. thats not it. its blown shock(s). spacers took my wheel hop problem away. then added lsd and its night and day

Irukandji · 08-20-2005, 05:50 PM

its blown shocks for shizzle... my car had that until i replaced the suspension...bam no more wheel hop

kandyflip445 · 08-20-2005, 05:57 PM

BOOOOOOO. Stop telling me the dampers are blown and give me something cheaper to fix.

I probably won't buy any coilovers until I get out of boot camp so I'll just deal with it hopping.

Irukandji · 08-20-2005, 06:02 PM

if u dont want it to hop.. dont drop the clutch at such a high rpm. try maybe 4000rpm and as soon as the tires spin bring the revs up.... it works a lot better than just dropping it at 6k

^ a lot less wheel hop that way

or don't fucking spin the tires at all, don't drive fast at all? blown suspension lessens driver control.

where the fuck did that come from? you cant handle the simple truth that blown suspension really can affect handling performance? i.e. this dumbass wheel-hop situation is a result of bad shocks. i hope you wheelhop off the face of a cliff you fag.

SochBAT · 08-24-2005, 12:39 AM

***S14DB*** · 08-24-2005, 01:24 AM

Time for Coilovers.(which you should have done first)

kandyflip445 · 08-24-2005, 02:22 AM

Actually I haven't replaced them with coilovers because I wanted the rest of my suspension to be up to snuff.

Ian · 08-24-2005, 08:41 AM

i have mostly stock bushings, w/ subframe spacers and coilovers and i get NO wheel hop...i have a nismo LSD too

but i'm talkin dropping the clutch from 7k rpm and i have no problems

kandyflip445 · 08-24-2005, 01:22 PM

Oh yeah. And one of my tires keeps losing pressure. LOL. It gets down to like 20 psi sometimes. I check it everyday now. I probably should find the leak and fix it.
