I know a clutch will be in my future but I'm gonna use the stock one for as long as possible.

I already got it! PM Jnaut...he sells them now.

Since the motor will be out of the car, I want to do it right the first time. Changing the clutch is NOT fun! Mine went bad after 2k miles of boost on my G35. I took me 6hrs to do my own clutch.

I had an awesome 5 mile up hill run run without interference, and no VDC yesterday. I love the Z. Downhill was stuck behind the dreaded Prius.

chops- you have front camber adjustment? anyway, the toe looks a lot better. i bet your car feels nimble and accurate now. actually that toe is pretty aggressive in the front.

LiquidG- oh ok, thanks. yah, been looking for a 4.5" to 5" toe hook to decorate my car but most of them are kinda too long.

nope, no front camber adjustment, likely just an error on the machines part or something. i will say though, that the ride home felt significantly different with the toe fixed. prior to the alignment my car would wander quite erratically.

you guys think i should get front/rear camber kits? or will negative 1.6-1.7 front and -2.5 rear not affect tire wear tooo badly? if im only losing a small percentage of tire wear, i'll let it go

heh...in that case, time to order some spacers

anyone else think -2.5 camber in the rear is going to wreck my rear tires??

im running -2.6 rear on my G35C since 7yrs ago. toe set a 0.15 each side almost like yours. wearing pretty flat on my car.

i have stilling camber rods but after tweaking with the suspension the G needs good amount of camber and toe-in in the back if i want to do any type of sprirted driving. car steps-out mid turn when i apply trottle.
