What are your alignment specs on your lowered Nismo?
 
Fellows, it is my understanding that the alignment specs for the Nismo trim are different from those of the touring/base trims (See Nismo specs provided by Scott@FontanaNissan below). I am looking to get some information pertaining to your alignment specs once you lowered your Nismo. I am in the process of getting my Nismo aligned after swift springs drop but would like to retain a slight bit of negative camber. Any information pertaining to your experience would be greatly appreciated and would be helpful for others (I hope).

Nismo 370 Alignment Specs:
Front
Camber -.58
Caster 8.17
Toe 0.03

Rear
Camber -1.58
Toe 0.08

you cant adjust the front camber so you will increase that with the drop. from the factory its already negetive.

the rear camber can be adjusted and with the swift springs you will get close to maxing out the rear camber ajustability, also toe will start to be hard to dial in.

Hey man, I was hoping for your answer in this thread as well as Johnnydrama, thx for that :tup: It was my understanding that I could do some adjustments not only to the rear camber but also to the front. I have the full kit from SPC.

Also with your drop, what specs did you end up with after alignment? :tiphat:

fuct 05-16-2011 11:04 AM

if you have the front camber kit from SPC then yes you can adjust it.

id have to search for that alignment info. the NTB i used for the alignment sucked, just a heads up.

What's the recommended Alignment setting's for a car that will see track maybe once or twice a year but mainly street driven. Currently lowered on BC Coils and waiting to put SPC Rear camber and toe bolts.

Great deal about the alignment info. It'll be interesting to get yours and a few more lowered Nismo alignment specs...Thx for the heads up about NTB; I have been recommended a place used to perform Z alignments.

RedBullRR, I'm not really sure but I would think that if you told whomever is doing the alignment to go with a slightly aggressive camber for the purpose you are trying to achieve, they should be able to help you with that.

The post from AK in the link below shows the stocks specs, having the car tech tweak (based on that info) some of the specs should be able to get you what you want... Not too sure but I would think that would be it... maybe

VH370ZNISMO, thanks for the great info and the pic - it looks great & aggressive. Are your settings for track purpose? It seems you went with a very negative camber from the specs.

VH370ZNISMO 05-19-2011 11:29 PM

Yes it's really a track set up but I like that way the rear has a complete set of spl arms lock out bolts and replacement bushes

birdmanx1 05-20-2011 07:30 AM

Thank you sir, that clears up a couple of questions :tup:

I had alignment done yesterday, my pre-alignment settings were at track level. I had the shop bring the car back to spec just to see if I could notice a difference in handling. I will have the car set at a more negative camber very soon.
