I've got a starting point of 18x9.5 +12 f and 18x10.5 +0 r as street setup..275f-295r tires. I have the hope and plan to do a race setup at some point, lighter wheels, etc... trying to figure out how much meat can be shoved under that beast. The rear fenders have been stretched on my car probably 10mm, front is stock. Any pics of his fenders?

I run a 315/30/18 on 18x12" +22 rear. There is maybe 3-4mm clearance on the inside. With a simple roll in the rear, the tires tuck in the fender on full compression with no rubbing at all. My 315 on 18x10" +17 front clears the suspension by 2-3mm, but rubs the stock front fenders just slightly on full compression. A slight pull or maybe just rolling the front fenders flat and they would clear no problem.

that's some decent width, I would imagine I could run a 12.5 +15 offset rear with my flared rear fenders.. maybe even a 335 tire.

F-11" +13, the wheels clear, but the lip protector on the tire rubs the upright so I run a 1/8 (3mm) spacer.

R-12" +25 With -1.5 camber the tire rubs the shock and fuel filler, with -1 camber no issues on the inside, but I had to move the quarter panel 1/2" on the outside.

front fenders... https://my350z.com/forum/autocross-r...ml#post9042874

Haha...I should have said mid to low 29xx lbs. I'm at 2924 right now.

Are Whiteline bushings legal in BSP? I replaced my OEM translink bushings with Whiteline and want to make sure they are ok. I also need to replace my SPL compression arm bushing with something that is legal.

I've never had my hands on the whiteline bushings, so I can't comment. Get out your micrometer and take a few measurements.

Honest question - Have you ever seen a protest/inspection involving an unmodified off-the-shelf polyurethane bushing like ES or Whiteline based on the metal sleeve being a mm too thick?

03threefiftyz

iTrader: (25)

I know for a fact that there have been protests over bushings (not necessarily over poly bushings (or their sleeve thickness)). Here is the thing, at nationals, if you win, someone will probably protest it.

Toledo Pro Video. The car was dead nuts on in terms of set-up on Sunday. Was able to run 27's on both sides during the bonus challenge, but couldn't get there on either during comp runs. Kind of frustrating, but still gratifying to get it there even with the extra runs. Those times would have raw timed Super Stock, but the quick raw times from smaller, skinnier DSP cars were still faster.

I think I talked to you while I was visiting that pro solo on the Saturday.

I was the guy talking to you about SP mods because I'm planning a ESP G35 build.

I've already started my list of mods to make this happen in stages having a fully prepped ESP car by the 2015 season haha.

That was probably me. Good luck on your build.

Ok so I just finally finished reading this whole thing and I'm confused on the whole adjustable camber arm thing still..

Pre '09 it seemed there were 100% not allowed, but now it seems like they are but w/ some restrictions? But modifying your stock ones is still legal some how?

I want to be able to adjust my camber to competitive specs but I still street the car on a semi regular basis and dont' want to wear out my street tires faster buy running a non adjustable amount of racing camber...

As long as you don't add more metal to the bushings you can run whatever you want. So delrin offset bushings in OEM arms or the kinetix appear to be legal. Maybe megan too I forget.

So the SPL Adjustable front control arms that I've seen are still not legal?

Well SM for me since I have a G not a Z but semantics.

So the off set bushing seems to be the easiest / cheapest way to get the most front camber on the G/Z suspension while remaining SP legal eh?

I haven't done much research but I'm assuming there is no camber plate option or anything else that I can use to have adjustable camber so I can have like -1*/-1.5* for street ability but then adjust to -3* or so for racing?

Neimad

Delete that camber plate remark before someone else sees it. Study the suspension design, you'll see why. You can get ok numbers just by lowering, not great and tricky to even out. Offset bushing is rare and tricky install.

Also -3 is alot of fun on the street too, 10k miles and I'm never going back.

Naw Don't feel like deleting my posts lol We were all noobs at one point. I know now and won't ask about it again. I'm ok with asking dumb questions haha.

I never said -3* wouldn't be super fun on the street was just concerned with tire wear.. then again even though I street the car it still isn't the daily so I should just stop caring.

So at stock ride height and switching to the off set bushings what does that roughly equal to in terms of camber in the front then?

Also pardon me if this is also a dumb question but is this the same method for getting the proper amount of rear camber? I believe I read that the rear camber has limited adjustabiliy in the rear stock but unsure if that is enough to gain the desired amount of camber.

Neimad

I did camber arms/coils/toe bolts at same time. Front was way too low and preload not right. Here's before and after with SPL UCA's and corner balance:

I use stock arms with offset bushings. I am currently at -2.5 on both sides (or there about), but it is not adjustable. I know there have been a few variants of the Kinitex, but the ones I measured were NOT legal. Truth be told, I don't remember what version they were. You can also cut and take a bit of the factory arm out (making it a bit shorter) to add even more camber. Hippie has something like -3.5 on his car in the front using this method.
