And you bought a sporty coupe that is fast, and responds pretty well to mods too.

Go sell it, you seem like a *****, I'm sure nobody wants to hear you bitch and moan about tires every few months when you decide to bring this pointless thread back up.




Take your pick, they'd both embarass an STi-- the jeep is stock to =(
its an SRT.. lol... i dont really consider that stock...

Are you freaking retarded or what? Normal thread wear is not the problem, the tire feathering and cupping... Thats the problem.. If the tire wore out EVENLY, then yes, thats normal I would be ok with it.

If you didn't know, feathering and cupping isn't normal.


and guess the F what. Nissan has admitted that there is a problem.

So why don't you own up and admit that the G also has a bad suspension.

---------------
Does Nissan Know There's A Tire Problem?
Yes. In fact, so far Nissan has issued three separate Technical Service Bulletins addressing the problem, including one which according to Auto Week says the suspension design/geometry of some models is causing the inside of the tires to wear in a choppy fashion.
----------------

And the 350z is more of a sports car then the G will ever be. So the tires shouldn't be wearing out at 10-12k the same as the 350z....

i just realized he has an automatic G with a twin turbo.. Although it's a nice setup, its worthless on the heavy azz G..

Which is why here are no Drag Videos of the G winning a race.

The STI, EVO and even the S2k will win the race the majority of the time. Even though they are a 4 banger and with a smaller engine.

i think both his cars would spank your cousins sti with no problem. why are you hating on G's so much? if you really dont like em or think they are that worthless you should have gotten a gay looking s2k or an ugly evo or sti... its not to late to trade yours in.

^hmmm this site says the g35 is faster...? I would take information off this site rather than dragtimes.com Considering this site has every statistic on both cars.

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...ecs_price.html

^ here it says a 2003 350z runs 13.77 stock and that a 2004 s200 does 14.19 - so in reality the 350z does 14.1 and the s200 does 14.5

There is your research - to me and everyone else its a drivers race. The smallest error gives away position to the other driver. If equal drivers and equal conditions the g35 is slightly faster.

Not even worth arguing over anymore

How many times do we have to tell you???? The reason for the uneven tire wear is due to the negative camber the G35 comes with stock from the factory. It isn't a problem with the car or the tires, its a simple fact that you should know - if you have negative camber the tires WILL wear faster on the inside. If you don't like that, then sell the ****ing car and get something else and leave this site.

Exactly. And thats why its a recall. What kinda dumb **** would lower the car and allow a car to have really bad negative camber? The existance of "Camber kits" are there for a reason right?

-1 camber is okay, the G probably has a -3.

So, why are you ignorning the "feathering and the cupping"...???? Cause that shlt aint normal.

Even if a completely stock G had maximum negative camber with the stock rear adjustments it couldnt reach -3 camber, so go check your eyes when you're looking at the degrees of camber. Stock spec neg. max is 1.8. Go get an alignment before you bitch about tire wear. Toe also has a very very big play in tire cupping and feathering, i'll bet your toe is out as well.

There is no recall, at least on the G's. Maybe the Z's.

The G comes with as Gdup35Sedan said, max of -1.8 camber. Just a point of reference, on my coilovers the car is as low as it can go in the rear and I had about -3 camber, so no G ever/will ever come that from the factory.

The G does not have adjustable camber arms, buy them if you hate your camber so much. Go back and drive a Camry or something along those lines if you don't want to worry about tire wear.

wow you need to do a search before you open your big idiotic mouth, read all the recalls go to the dealership and have them put on the support to your camber kit.
