I thought you were on staggered duckfeet? Guess not. If you have 9.5" wide rears with 275 PSS, VLSD, swaybars, etc.... doesn't make any sense why you're hopping. I wonder why that is, any thoughts? Don't take this wrong, but any chance you're misinterpreting the TC for wheel-hop?
I'm on coupe 19"s.

Could be the Koni/Swifts. Alignment. Also, my rear diff bushing has been busted since at least August-15, so there's that.

The good news, is regardless of if its hop or the TC, it's almost completely gone.

Edit: Google Nissan 370 wheel hop, I don't think it's TC. Most echo my statement that the bushings greatly help.

I think there is other variables involved other than tire size and bushings. Pending the RPM I launch at, my 275s on my 10'' 370 Rays can produce wheel hop and that's with my bushing intact.

Can confirm my X has had VDC off as the first thing I do every day for the last 2 months now with the snow.

I picked up an excellent set of used Blizzaks (WS70) with less than 500 miles driven on them so I swapped out my All seasons...OMG. night and day difference for snow driving. We had a lot of snow fall yesterday and I took the car out - no problems at all with or w/o the 'snow' button engaged. win/win.

Also, I finally got my G35 Rays wheels refinished....I'm shopping around for a new set of 19's - either the latest generation Michelin A/S 3 Plus, Conti d/w/s 06 or Pirelli P Zero A/S Plus.... I still have time before spring gets here...

Changed the oil myself for the first time with this car. Went with Castrol Edge 0W40 full synthetic and mobil 1 filter. Engine sounds so much quieter to be honest. I also put in that replacement clutch assist spring. Finally able to drive it like I want and NO MORE JERKY CLUTCH WOES.

Best $20 mod a 6MT Z/G owner can make.

The spring is a fantastic driving mod, so I held out for three more years before chucking the entire assembly in favor of the RJM unit. After that, the only regrets were not doing it right away... it's that much better.

Maintenance Tip

If you want to get your key fob nice and shiny, and very clean, just send it through the washing machine in a pocket of your favorite jeans...

Of course it won't work until you take it apart and dry it out and install a new battery, but the end result is well worth it...

Just don't plan on making it a habit as you never know when you'll totally f$ck it up completely....

Sean

Installed the Diode Dynamics Tail-as-Turn module.

Here's my video proof, comparing new (left) to old (right)
