After lowering my Z my camber angle went to a -2.0 degrees in the front, which causes instability at high speeds and severe tire wear. I haven't found a camber kit available.

Does anyone know how to remedy?

 

Yep, take your pick, 3 choices.

Endurace race proven.
easy to adjust.

 

There will be a 4th option coming from K-MAC in Australia in a couple of weeks.

 

-2 camber sound decent to me. Camber wouldn't effect stability . I'm thinking your caster is off, what is you caster set at?

 

anyone know if these will allow castor to be adjusted? if they don't, is there anything coming out in the near future that will allow castor adjustment? thanks

 

These are the ones we use on our race cars, my car and lowered customers cars. We set them up for a perfect alignment, then with a simple shim change your track ready. After the track, switch the shim back and your in perfect alignment again!! Jason will be posting a step by step install and adjust, plus alignment print outs for you to see by the end of the week.. http://www.performancenissanparts.co...roducts_id=341

 

Woooo.....Nice.

 

Thanks every one for your help!
I will have to figure out which option
will be best for me. Thanks again.

 

Caster is set at L) 8.2 R) 8.6

left front camber is -2.0
right front camber is -1.4

If I would like to be able to
match camber angles with out
spending a fortune on upper
control arms-any Ideas?

Thanks.

 

K-Mac emailed me with the information that theirs will also allow for caster adjustment.

 

Do any of these eliminate Feathering / Bounce ?


Cheers Amy -

If So NNA should place these on our Car.

Caster Left 10 Caster right 9.5

 

WOW, your caster is way out, unless they changed, the limits were 7.58 to 8.92

The feathering is supposed to be fixed by adjusting the Toe, which it has so far on mine, but if you have a lot of camber you will get wear on the inside edge that some might mistake for feathering.

These kits will not fix the bounce that is suspension (shocks/springs)

 

I think 10 caster is too high and right side should be 0 up to 0.5 more than the left side.

Moving lower sub frame to decrease caster can be one option...
or adjustable upper control arm can help.

What do you guys think??

 

I have eibach springs with stock wheels and tires. My dealer says I have a bit of tire feathering and I need to adjust camber to fix it, but pretty soon I will have 19inch wheels/tires. What will having eibachs and 19in wheels with 245/35 in the front and 275/30 in the rear do to my camber? Do I need to get a camber kit to fix tire feathering?

 

If ths Fixes The Feathering/Bounce Then NNA shoud Buy this Fix

 

Up to Top..

Jeff, You need my Z as a Beta Car? - Two fresh NNA 18" RE040's up front.

Call me on the Cell..

I will have a picture of our final arm this week.
I think your gonna like what you see!

 

BJ, can you answer a question for me?

It seems from your picture that the adjustment in your arms comes from sliding the plate with the ball-joint against the a-arm itself and clamping the two together with 4 bolts in slots. Since the two plates are secured from clamped friction only, how do they resist the intense sheer forces that they are subjected to?

It seems like you would need to torque those bolts down pretty hard to prevent the plates from slipping against each other at full load on sticky tires.

Jason,
We have been using and working with this design for over a year on our race car and never once had an issue with slipping. The cornering loads that we see in our 350Z are much higher and for longer periods of time than any street car will ever see.
I will try and get the exact specifications from the engineering firm that helped us with our design.
There has been alot of blood sweat, and engineering that has gone into our arms.
The bolts actually go through two plates: one on top and one on bottom, these plates sanwhich the arm and the slider.I can tell you that the bolts were torqued to 18 ft/lbs at Daytona Int Speedway on the high banking at 100+ MPH for a three hour race. NO PROBLEMS.
The only way that this would be a problem: If the mechanic doesnt tighten the bolts.
This same design has been used and is still used on all types of street and race applications. Most of all the Porsches we prep in our shop have sliding type camber adjustment.
The adjustment on our arms is very simple of very fast. A jack, 12mm socket and a camber gauge are all the tools you need to adjust the camber. No need to remove the wheel and exact camber adjustments cvan be obtained.
The ball joint design we use is the same stlye found on open wheel cars. And with the small joint package we are using allows for the most positive camber adjustment on the market..... without bottoming out on the underside of the shock tower!
I promise that we are fully commited to producing top notch proffesional products for the 350Z and G35.
Racing makes a great proving/play ground!
Cheers
