Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - One-wheel peeling. Rear bar too stiff or fried diff?

Another autocross yesterday in RI. Car felt great on the PS4S in warmer weather (~70 degrees is warm so far in New England), and new EBC yellowstuffs. I did notice a good amount of inside wheel spin (stock VLSD) on slow corner exits as I was pushing the car harder.

My car has a hotchkis rear bar on full soft, and 8k rear springs. For those that vouch for removing the rear bar, is that for less oversteer or less inside wheel spin? I’m not noticing any excess oversteer, which i know is typically the reason for taking off the rear bar. This is why I’m questioning if the problem is due to my diff overheating/already being fried.

I’ll be taking off a rear end link regardless before the next event, and hopefully that gives me more rear grip and solves this issue.
