This is wheel hop and is normal with cars that have independent rear suspension setups....not a solid axle like a mustang....welcome to the world of a car that handles

on a side note for you....my car does this only when the VDC is on...when i turn if off and really get them to spin is smooth as silk...only does it when its barely breaking traction.

Yep! I that happened to me too. First and second time it happened, I thought I was riding a horse--- a wild mustang. I feel like I am in a Rodeo when this happens. The G -35 is an unusual car in many ways and it behaves in an unusual manner. I guess this is what makes its owners love it to death.

Did you ever notice that extra shock, mounted at an angle on the rear axle of the Mustang? I think they called it an axle damper. That was there to stop the axle (wheel) hop. The Infiniti doesn't have this. The best way to stop it, and save tires at the same time is to...(sorry)...
