Does the Z have a rear toe-steer problem?

I can't speak for the G35 for sure, but when I did bump steer measurements on my 370, I started at ~1/16*, and went to ~3/32* at full compression on the rear.


You can hook your Z up to a bump steer gauge if you don't believe me.
Would an adjustable torque arm allow you to tune out some of that toe change?
