Default OEM Nismo Alignment settings?

Anyone know if the OEM Nismo edition alignment settings are the same as for the other editions?

If different (which they might be -- different springs and struts and beefier swaybars), anyone know what they are exactly?

Thanks!

Interesting -- that is somewhat different than OEM (but within OEM specs).

Does that suggest there is a small degree of adjustability or is Nismo suspension more adjustable?

Scott -- can you confirm that these are the typical settings for all Nismos, or just what was found on a specific vehicle?

Either way -- thanks for the info!!!

I pulled that info from the exact printout you have posted in your thumbnail. I went out to the garage and had my master tech pull it up for the Nismo 370z!

You should be the same with a '14. Maybe a '15 has differences with the minor model change.

Caster 8.17?? No way in hell! Caster isn't adjustable in front and adjustable would only be 7 max.

The castor range for the 370 is ~3.8° to ~6.5° (from 2018 FSM)
The 8°+ item is the KPI (king pin inclination)

SPL upper control arms will let you adjust caster. Mine is set at 7 right now.
