V35 Coupe Allignment Specs Same As G35?

Hey kids,

Just wanted to double check something. I am aware there are some differences between the G35 and V35 (LHD/RHD differences for headers due to steering rack location etc) but wanted to check if the allignment specs (toe in etc) listed in the FSM for the G35 are the same for a V35 Coupe? I wouldn't think it would be different but wanted to check when I get mine alligned..

Random question as well.. car was perfectly alligned and not driven for 2 months than once driven, started to pull left. Steering wheel is a bit cocked left. When having the steering wheel dead centre seems to turn a bit to the right, if I let go will pull left. For a car that has been sitting there, the allignment shouldn't go out like that. I flipped the tyre on the rim and swapped them (directionals) and didn't really do much. Measured the coilover height on all 4 sides (in case one has leaked and dropped a bit but even than wouldn't be that out) they were all sweet as. Brakes don't appear to be dragging. Don't know how the tie rods would die sitting there but will check them out.

Any ideas?

R6n350GT.. I am looking at you.. :whistling:

Yup....I had some new Lower arm bush's from Fulcrum put in that corrects the pull to the left.....my bush's were shagged! On most of our cars the bush's shit themselves by about 90-100K.

I have now replaced these bush's for people in about 10 cars....M35 Stagea's have the same lower arms as the V35

^^ as stated... New bushes are required, your wheel alignment won't just go out like that unless something is loose, or severely worn. Time to get it up on a hoist and have a look.

Ps: you wheel alignment guys should have told you this...

Aaahh.. the old LCA bushes.. noob of me to forget to check them!!

Will check them out when I jack up the car.. and if they are rooted than will change them with some Polyurethan bushes.. these are machine pressed on right?

Cobey, I agree as it was strange the car sitting their would go out of allignment. The car was alligned at the compliance shop so I guess they may not have seen it (or forgot to tell me).. car drove straight as for a bit before being parked for a month or so than had started to pull not long after of being driven.

Cheers guys for the responses :thumbsup:

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
