What did you do with your Z today

Dembflyr

Yes sir.

Are you going with the zspeed csc also?

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

D'oh! I guess I shoulda paid more attention.

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.

aligned it at sonic motorsports. it baaaarely cleared their alignment ramp. even with a special ramp setup i had maybe 0.5" of clearance on the front bumper/sideskirts.

camber before/after:
front: -1.7/-1.6
rear: -2.9/-2.6

toe before/after:
front: -0.3 and 0.13 / 0.8 and 0.8
rear: 0.32 and 0.15 / 0.16 and 0.16

wowzas...my coil self install left me with some messssed up toe!

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.

I think that was GT Motoring or something.. different than the GTM with the FI kits.

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.

kenchan

indeed! but that downhill behind a prius. man the tolerance we need to have with idiots.

chops

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

kenchan

imho your camber is fine.

chops

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??

kenchan

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.

kenchan

forgot to mention... my craftssquare mirrors are now on its way to me thanks to my pops. going to pay him in yen next time i visit so i dont get raped by the exchange rate. lol. the people at craftssquare are real nice and professional.

if im lucky i should have them in my hands on Sat and shall install them the moment they arrive.
