Do you have the same size tires on both front and back? When I saw the car lose control like that, it reminded me of the way my 1986 300ZX turbo crashed. My old 300 used to handle ok with wider tires in the back than the front, but I put 225's on all 4 corners of it to improve handling, because the car seemed to "push" in corners a lot. It seemed to help in handling a bit, but when I pushed it to the limit it always got flaky and it felt like it didn't know which side wanted to be up front. One day I took a turn too fast and lost it just like your video showed. I corrected, then corrected again, but the back end still wanted to come around, and did. Now on the TTZ I have now, I'm sure I want to leave the back tires wider than the front ones. It seems to give the car more stability, and when it slides, the back end feels like it knows it wants to stay in back, while the front end is the one that starts to slide first. I like the added stability it gives, because I hate the feeling of the back end coming around. So my question to you all is this- have the people that had their back end come around in a turn (not from over-gassing it) in their Z32's all been running the same size tires on all 4's, or did they have wider tires in back?
