Yes and no I don't have ASE certifications, so I do basic stuff.

I got an alignment today here's what I am sitting at since the drop:

Front
Caster Left: 9.0
Caster Right: 9.1

Camber Left: -2.0
Camber Right: -2.5

Toe Left: .07
Toe Right: .05
Toe Total: .12

Rear
Camber Left: -3.5
Camber Right: -3.3

Toe Left: .11
Toe Right: .09
Toe Total: .20


Trying to decide if I should get the full front + rear camber kits, or would I be ok with just the rear? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks guys

I would just get the rear arms and flip your tires when the inside starts to wear out.

Got my baseline dyno from Kan during Dyno Day Deal thanks to Chris and Rob. Paid the man $35 for three pulls including Air Fuel Ratio. Keep in mind I am running pretty much stock with a K&N filter, Z-tube and Coupe Mid pipe. The car had 87 octane at the time of the pull since I was being a cheap skate. Down the road I plan to use an automatic lower plenum and port/ polish along with Spacer, HR Y-pipe and some sort of HFC/TP. Don't want to pour too much money into the motor since bang for buck VQ is no bueno.


HP: 240
TQ: 209

2005 G35 Sedan 6mt Rev-up with 89k miles.

Stock rating: 298hp = 19% drive train loss due to manual transmission.

I would do both - if you want to mess with flipping tires and seeing good tread go to waste... by all means just get the rears. If you paid big $$ for new tires and want them to last - get both..

Speaking of... hey Stephen... obviously didn't get a hold of Andrew before Saturday. Not sure if he even made it out to your shop anyway. Is the cover ready? May have the other side to paint as well (found out this weekend ironically). When would be a good time to come out and pick it up (assuming it's done).

Thanks!

I'm with Jack... no clue what those are. Stock cats will have the Nissan name and/or logo on it somewhere. And I know it's been a while, but I don't remember the stock cats having 3 holes in them for sensors... The cat itself definitely looks stock-ish, but the piping and the setup doesn't seem stock overall.
