Dofu I just read the description on tein tie rods and says that it will improve the steering angle. Doesn't that mean the u will be able to turn the wheels more? Maybe im understanding this wrong.....

 

Sweet, Suscribed!

 

I think that the shorter wheelbase of the Z may attribute to better steering response. I have heard that the longer wheelbase of the G give it a better G force skid pad rating than the Z.

 

I had that thought in my mind as well, that just the Z having shorter wheelbase gives better steering response. I am trying to look for the steering ratios for the G35 and there is nowhere i can find it.

 

bump for updates...

Vlad, if this thread falls - you better look it up and post after you talk with Darin Wed...

 

I will. Can't wait! Hopefully he will have some detailed info about this.

 

The answer is shorter wheelbase. Darren said that just shorer wheelbase will make a difference in steering input. So we can not do anything to offset it unless we shorten the wheelbase on our cars.

 

sucks for us....oh well

 

+1, I still can smoke them on the track though. that is the most important thing.

 

make it happen!!!

 

^haha!

 

Are you talking about turning radius or the actual feel of the steering wheel when you corner?

I ask this because a car that understeers feels heavier around corners. You would be amazed at how much you can transform the feel of your ride by increasing traction to the front wheels. Usually done by softer springs up front (or stiffer in the rear), bigger sway bar in the rear (smaller up front), or reducing shock damping up front (or increasing rear damping).

I was amazed at how much adjustability I gained after installing D-Specs. With a turn of the adjuster, I can make my G feel heavy as a boat or light as a feather.

 

^no i was refering the steering quickness. Not the feel but how quick it responds to steering movements. Understeer/oversteer issue is resolved with sway bars only.
