2019 Nismo Z Alignment Info

BMSmith · 09-20-2021, 02:53 PM

Can someone tell me 1) what alignment settings are adjustable for the stock car, 2) the factory specs, and 3) the recommended setup for optimal steering and cornering? This is a canyon road car, I'd prefer a slight oversteer balance (no understeer on trail braking or on throttle apex to exit). I don't know my current angles, but there is a very light return to center force below about 35 [deg] wheel angle and I'd like a bit more with improved on center feel and stability. I assume this would be maximum caster, camber, with nominal factory spec on toe and KPA (assuming these are all adjustable). Thank you in advance.

Bone stock Z. The only thing that is adjustable on the front is the toe. In the rear. Camber and toe. To get better handling. You will have to replace the front upper control arms to get adjustments for both camber and caster. Also need to change out the sway bars. Tires and rims is another place you can play with.

Thank you. Can you recommend a set of aftermarket front upper control arms?

you might as well do the SPL stuff and coilovers with some better wheels/tires at the same time

Nissan did Z owners no favors on the alignment front, it sucks and was never corrected
