370z Alignment Specs

Please add toe measurements in inches or millimeters to the chart. Some machines give these instead of degrees.

Thanks! now I have 0.06º rear TOE and TCS/ESP light blinking me in fast corners. I need fix that with more convergence rear. I will go up to 0.15º.

What about a similar chart for nismo versions? I can't find a table specific to them in the FSM even though other threads on here suggest they are different settings.

Old post but there are not different settings for Nismo and base. Only one part number for the suspension arms that control the alignment angles. I looked into it heavily while trying to find out if there was a "legal" way to get more negative camber for the series I compete in.

How would 4.8 caster be on each side, i know its above low and below ideal but would this have any ill effects?

Why would you want to be out of oem specification, especially on the low end?

Figured I'd add an update to this. Here's some specs from my local Nissan dealer when I did an alignment with them. A bit different from the original post. Wheels are 19" stock Rays.

Just got the 'ol Z Aligned today.

Caster Spec: 4.4 - 5.9 deg.

Caster (L) 4.5 (R) 4.3 (out of spec)

Is this unusual for these cars?

I don't see any way to adjust the caster.


Thanks for any info.

caster is not adjustable

that camber spec is on the low end, but if you aren't feeling any unusual steering activity, it's nothing to worry about

having said that

throw away your stock ****, buy the SPL catalog, coilovers, and wheels

Well, I'm finally getting around to addressing this issue. Steering feels a little bit twitchy or follows the road slant a little too much - or am I imagining it? Anyone know if being at the lowest end of the Caster spec can cause this and be noticeable in handling?

It can be fixed, but I'm not sure If I want to go to the expense and bother to do it.

(I hit a pretty big raised asphalt section a while back - hit pretty damn hard so I wonder if that's what knocked the Caster back).

Thanks for any suggestions.

Update: Decided to just leave it alone. I think I just noticed it due to some very uneven roads around here.

In 2018, Nissan issued a service bulletin (ref: NTB16-115a) addressing revised front wheel alignment specifications for both the "regular grade" and "Nismo" models for years 2017 and 2018. According to the FSM chart in the bulletin, I found it interesting that the Nismo had different front wheel alignment specs (camber and caster) than the other trim levels. It was also noted that Nissan extended the range of toe to include some front toe-out for all trims. The acceptable TOTAL toe range now showed to be -0.04° (out) to 0.37° (in). That made sense, because the nominal number (0.17°), although perhaps not ideal, is pretty close to what would be 1/16" for the OE tire diameter on a 19" wheel. I digress...

The bulletin did not address any changes to the rear alignment specs. I wonder, however, if like the front, there are different rear specs for the Nismo trim as well? Does anybody know or have access to a 2017+ FSM to advise?

Wonder why? Is the NISMO suspension any different than a Sport model?

Yes

Guys, I just got my spl front arms installed, and I have Z1 rear arms, camber and toe, because I went to true type BC racing suspension.

I tried to find some recommendations for the camber, caster and toe if possible. The car is for weekends and track, and sometimes long cruising with friends. So, it is not daily drive.
Can you share your recommendations or suggestions rather than stock configurations which are shared already?

Best regards,
N
