Hi guys I need to do something about the camber on the front of my car, Its fine for daily driving being 0 and -.05 left and right

However my track rubber is wearing excessively on the left side of the car particularly the outside of the left side tyres. This is due QR having more high speed right hand turns than left. The easy option would just be to swap the left side to the right side but Toyo R888s are directional

I was thinking of buying some front camber arms which would set me back around $300 to $500 delivered with the idea of dialling in more camber for the track day and then setting back to normal when back home

The other option is to lash out and buy some coilovers that have camber tops such as these BC ones. Thing is Im not sure if the pic is of the actuall coilovers I would get or if its a generic one.

Anyone out there have coilovers with cambertops on their V? just so I know that it can be done

The other question is what are the stock spring rates for the coupe? I think I found a page on the web that said the rates were 4.5kg? That said my car is my daily and whilst I didn’t care so much running stiff coils in my 180sx the skyline however is a different car

i dont think there is camber adjustments at the top of the BRs. the V35 use a wishbone at the top which has eccentric bolts for minor camber adjustment. youll need adjustable arms for that.

that said the BR coilovers are fantastic! yes i own a set :)

found that but wasent sure how to do the conversion till I worked this out in google http://www.google.co...d0f73886609171d

i'm running bc coils in mine. 6 kg rear 8kg front.

super awesome to drive and handles like a dream.

also running camber arms f &r and toe arms in the r

handles well and sits well

not to rough at all.

and i can dial in whatever camber i want

Im guessing you have godspeed camber arms? straight from e-bay?

yeah, but dont forget mine where to fit wheels not performance orientated.

also i had to press out my front ball joint and into the new ones due to wrong sizings. but all in all im happy.

bit noisy sometimes, doesnt bother me thou

what exactly was the issue with the wrong sizes?

just incorrect ball joint size the one provided was smaller, so i utilized the stock ones. works like a dream now.

Bit dissapointing that being a part for the G35/350Z that the ball joint didint fit

was keen on the ichiba ones but I found a post on a 350z site where a member had one of them fail after 2 days, another site said that the welds were poor and they only put them on the car when they had been rewelded

Allmost makes me want to buy some cusco ones as youd think they would be top qualiaty but cant find any on e-bay wonder of anyone local can get them

Better to pay $540 once than $300ish twice in the case of cheapo ones failing. Particually given I like to do track days who know what sort of damage could happen if one let go @ 160kph... Allready had one bad expierence with a cheep radiator that arrived so bowed that it wasent even worth fitting

Why not try Bilstein PSS10 coilovers?? I was quoted shipping of around $260 to sydney

Check out this Tirerack link they also have SPC camber arms which have quite a good wrap on the G35driver forums

http://www.tirerack.com/suspension/Susptabl.jsp?autoMake=Infiniti&autoModel=G35+Coupe+Leather&autoYear=2003&autoModClar=

Fort he rear get aftermarket d bolts and slot the subframe its far cheaper than camber arms and should be fine for all but the ridiculous drops. Rockauto do them for the 350z/g35. Even did my own alignment with them afterwards comes up great im alot lower than 350z springs to the front camber isnt that far out imo, the rear looked alot worse after the drop.

Well i got my BC Racing BRs in now, i installed them and then paid suspension shop to set it up for track, i just dial 4 more click hard for track/mountain and back for highway/normal..

Dont need camber kit at all he said, i got him to lower the car for performance not for looks so its not really much lower than stock but handles soo well!

ill take u for a drive just let me know.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
