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:

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
