Assuming you are on the RE05's its possible you're tires just aren't getting warm enough. the RE05 is a good tire, not a great tire so yeah man you're going to be chirping tires. If it really bothers you then opt for some better tires like Michelin Super Sports or don't redline through the gears.

REALLY ???? Bridgestones sucks ?
before i purchased my Z i made a few research on them and I've read and heard so many good things about it =(
i know i am not redlining it and i am 100% sure that my tires are slipping.
I've took the "vdc" (i think is called) off and i can hear them. i had my brother watch me as well. i tried giving more gas when switching gear, less gas, letting the clutch go quick, letting the clutch go slow. i think I've tried at all except for switching tires, which i am not. not right now.
it only happens when I'm switching those gears at 4500-5000RPM

Exactly what he said. I got it for a month only and haven't driven crazy with it as much.
