Question Z33 alignment/rear end issues????? Help

Hey guys. So about two weeks ago I traded my s14 for a 350z and it's my first z chassis. The previous owner gave me the car on two different sized tires in the rear left 275/35/19 and 255/35/19 on the rear right hand side. (was getting a pretty good deal so I thought what the hell I will figure it out later) I noticed the car would screech a lot and skip on the right side when I was making a left turn and weight would transfer over to the right side. Also noticed that driving in a straight line It would continuously loose and catch traction in the rear as if the rear was swaying back and forth which would make the steering wheel continuously and slightly turn left or right. So I ended up picking up an exact matching tire to the left side to correct the problem and it got even worse! Here's the thing too, the vdc off and slip light are on in the cluster still. My car is a base model and from what I understand it doesn't have tcs or vdc so I don't know what that's about either. Could it be a bad alignment? Or maybe is it the fact that one side of the car is slightly lower than the other? or could one or both of the rear coils be blown? Maybe abs sensor or slip sensor? (coils also have swift springs which also probably makes the ride a lot stiffer or maybe the coils are just blown?) I have no idea I have never had blown coils before. The whole rear of the car just feels way too loose to be safe. I know this is kinda all over the place and I probably sound like a noob, but any help would be greatly appreciated as I am stumped on this.Thanks!

Start by looking for bent arms or worn bushings in the rear suspension.

Will do. A buddy of mine had a very similar issue with his S2K and it turned out to be bad wheel bearings so I will prob check that too. But then again that is a completely different chassis sooo

Jacked up the car and checked wheel bearings but there was no play at all. Guess it wasn't that then. Still confused
