I mentioned this in another thread but in talking with a Nissan employee while looking at some Nissan race cars in their heritage collection he said you might want add some weight over your axles. He went on to say that every z back in the day had added weight in the rear. He the showed me a few cars with post over the rear tire well were they added the weight help the car with traction.

I certainly don't want to add weight to the car. It's hard enough to be competitive against E46's. The car does perform differently on a full tank of fuel. Since we put the large cell into the car for endurance events, but you can't count on that because it is a dynamic change to the car. We custom built the cell to replace the stock tank and keep the fuel as low as possible.

Did I read correctly that you are running 315's square? WOW, that's a LOT of tire. The front bite is so good on the car, that we can't induce any slip on the 275 fronts, so the added weight just wasn't worth it to us. I notice that you also have VERY heavy springs. Did you do that to prevent squat and loss of camber through the suspension travel?
