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:

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
