who makes the best way to fix the **** poor alighnment issues we have on the g-coupe ???? does the sedan have have the same problem ???? ..stillen ..kineitx.. or sombody else for modifying camber adjustment...i tired of spending 400.00 every 15k miles

 

Are you lowered? Is your alignment in spec? The stock tires I have on my OEM 19's have about 15k miles and still have about half the tread left.... Either get a better alignment, get a camber kit (Ichiba, SPC, SPL, Cusco), or stop driving so aggressively lol. Also make sure your air pressure is correct.

 

sorry..normal ride hight w/ factory 19's.with larger tires...front 245.35-19 and rear 275-35-19 ...im within specs excep for camber.....the wifes car sounds like drivin a truck ...the insides of the fronts are baddly cupped

 

your rear tires seems a little wide for oem 19s, but anyways if your at stock height it sounds like your alignment shop is doing a bad job. Try looking for a shop that has worked with G35s before

do you have a print out of your alignment spec?

 

Not everyone knows how to do alignment correctly and a few will take your $ when they don't know **** about what the factory specs should be. Ask your friends and neighbors where they get their alignment done. I wish you lived in my area, I have a brake/alignment shop people drive 50+ miles to get their alignment. Balance/alignment/tire pressure are all critical to tire life, check all three....tire pressure s/b 35/37 PSI regardless of tire size!

i will try the 35-37 psi deal..i usually run 34.5 with nitrogen, but after 2months or so it seems to drop 2-3 psi all at once in all tires...i worked for nissan for a while and all i heard was bad tires, bad suspension geometry and pissed off customers with the tire wear issues...i will try to find spec sheets for the alighnment and when the re checked it again about 3 weeks ago..i remebmer everything being in the green zone except camber...i have perfect wear on rear tires but the front omg...i have given thes guys everything from lowered stangs to f350s and zo6 vettes and never an issue with fron ends,, but i understand where ur coming from...
my last 05 coupe with factory 17s were no issue really the good year RSA's were great and quiet but wore out by 24k in front..the factory 19 were quiet untill about 10k and then the wear came along with the noise...now that i have gone even wider and to a harder 300 tread wear compound the noise is overwelming to put it lightly...i dont drive it much except to dinner with the wife[ her car], but i drove it to virgina and back.. i thought i was gonna loose my mind..the brake shudder and tire noise
the size tires i use [ to me ] look like what what should come on the car from the factory...the rubber sticks out past the wheel just a little to protect the rim lip.but thats my opinion .. and the ride is better also

 

is there a better way to adjust camber other than the upper control arm with adjustable ball joint[ stillen or others?? ] or the upper control arm with the spherical rod end [ kinetics ] ??????

 

Nitorgen in our tires and some tire shops like Costco were charging extra, can you say "RIP OFF?" All you really go out of that deal was green valve stem caps.... Check out our MARKETPLACE under Vendor Suspension, there's at least 4 different adjustable a-arms that will correct your camber issue. G/L

I bought the upper control arms from kineticx..they dont look like anything else on the market.. they have greasable poly bushings and look way more durable than the oe arms..hopefully they are the hot setup for our issue...

 

Nissan has issued a TSB on the alignment issues on 350z. Not sure what the hell Infiniti is waiting for.

Cupping isn't fixed by camber. Poor balanced wheels and worn out suspension causes cupping. Such as bad shocks, ball joints, bad bushings, etc etc...

Infiniti has issued a "revised" compression rod do to premature wearing / cracking of the bushings. Are your ball joint / bushings etc etc. OK? Or are they cracked and worn out?

Feathering is caused by incorrect toe settings.

 

400 every 15K 0_o

 

That's not too bad, on my last Z I bought a set of Bridgstones that were unknowly rated at 140 on wear. The whole set was gone in 10K miles but they were great, 70 MPH in driving rain and not a bobble even in standing water on the freeway. My cost from the Tire Rack was $1200 and I was disappointed they didn't say something about the wear numbers when I bought them. Went back to Michelins and haven't looked back since....

The kinetics arms fit great, although getting the most forward bolt back in was a real mf'er.. took about 1 hour and a half start to finish...does anyone have the specs. to set up front end???? i am presently set at . 07 degree camber (l) and .06 degree camber (r)

 

Michelin ftw!!! And gl with fix, btw I think that firestone offers lifetime alignments for like 200 or so...

 

Front end specs for the sedan are -.8 to .7 for camber. Not sure if the coupe specs are the same.
