You can adjust the rear camber back into a reasonable range quite easily but if it is the front you would have to get replacement front A-arms. I have seen quite a few 350Z's where the rear camber is quite excessive and if not corrected it will cause the inner edge of the rear tires to where out pre-maturely.

yes, if you look under your z in the rear there is a camber rod that runs from the lower suspension bracket to the rear subframe. on the frame side there is a cambolt. if you turn the cambolt the rod will move forward or backward either pulling your camber in or pushing your camber out. very easy to adjust though i highly recommend an alignment shop do it to get the correct setting as camber adjustments affect your toe settings. throwing your toe out of spec will eat your tires up quikly......just to note, all z's have fairly agressive rear camber settings from the factory. the look is hieghtened with aftermarket(heavy offset) wheels or wheels spacers on the factory wheels as the camber angle becomes more noticeable...... the bottom of the wheel gets closer to the fender lip/well area allowing you to see more of the camber.........
