Just wondering sometimes when i smash from 1st to 2nd i get a tramp (Tyres skipping before they grab traction). Is this bad for the car is it capable of damaging something? Whats the fix? ive lowered tyre pressure etc... I do have very stiff suspension.

Whats wrong with your other thread:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ty...p;hl=axle+tramp

In that thread we suggested you read this thread:

There is heaps of info in that second link. I am yet to completely eliminate mine but have reduced it a lot.

From my experience it is worn suspension bushes that cause this issue, so when axle tramp occurs you are further wearing down these bushes. Not mention the extra strain on axles and diffs.

Of course its bad for the bloody car!

How to fix? Don't "smash 1st to 2nd"! Pump the tyres back up (for general road holding). And stiff suspension won't be helping at all (you don't get proper weight transfer onto the rear wheels).

My axle tramp would occur with just power no hard changing gears with tyres pumped up and not stiff suspension. Its not that easy. But there is tonnes of info in that thread i linked above.

Well, yes. They could be stickier or less sticky than previous. To cause tramp, it's more likely that they are more sticky rather than less. They could have a different sidewall stiffness and/or different inflation pressure.

Try a bit more and less pressure ans see which feels better. That might help tramp and make handling worse, so you may have to find a new compromise.

I have axle tramp. I will never do anything to get rid of it that will adversely affect the lateral grip of the rear end.

      I used "different strokes for different folks" quite pointedly as honestly, there is no wrong when it comes to choosing what you like.  I always day dreamed about flappy paddles with fast shifts in a sporty RWD Turbo and to me the sound and feel of it cutting through gears in a steady stream is exciting, engaging, and keeps the car better balanced - I *also* like h-patterns, but I find them more engaging and fun in a nice hoonable peaky NA thing.  Type-R Integra/old school NA rotary, things that are raw and need all the rpm where picking the gear and getting it sky high is part of the engagement of the whole thing despite the fact that they probably need closer ratios and faster shifts even more than a 3l turbo thing haha

      If I wasn't allowed or really had the desire to visit China it would probably fit in my carry on, but I have no desire, Japan would be nice during Cherry Blossom time though I might need to chat to Jackie about that, that should actually be an easy conversation though as she is currently talking about another cruise, cruise ship to Japan, a week in Japan to see the sights, then cruise home I may even be able to find those OEM NC Recaro seats over there that I cannot find here 🤔

      What do you mean?  In between the two I shared?  They're the same boost   This will be insane.   A mate has a GTSt with a 9:1 RB30/25 with Tomei 256 cams and a Borg S362SX-E that is already a beast from the basement but has a stock 5 speed and will probably get a ZF8 one day.  After the G35 900 RB26 setup I'd be lying if the topic of "Wtf would a divided G35 be like on this thing?" idea hadn't come up - you'd definitely want a wide boost control range setup with it, as even with the less responsive and potent S361 we're having to ramp boost in from very low levels in the early gears.

      ZF8 is faster, wider ratio spread, better in every way. I do not dispute this. But I have brain damage and I want the feeling of shifting gears. To me the extra work is fun, but I daily an automatic and in the US like 90+% of cars are automatic so a manual transmission is an "exotic" experience. If I want an automatic I've driven an F80 M3 with DCT more than a few times and it's incredibly capable but it's emotionally vacant to me.
