aligning for various racing is easy
the G rear suspension comes with a single point adjustment each for camber and toe.
the front lower link has a cambolt on it that you adjust to change you camber
The rear lower link has the same cambolt for the toe.
each graduation on the bolt is approximately 5 minutes of adjustment (60 min/degree)
This means you can take the negative camber out of the rear suspension at the strip and put more negative on at the autocross or road race. Then you can put it back reasonably close to stock to drive home.
The nut needs to be tightened to 68-74 ft lbs after you mess with it. I recommend if you want to try this you get a FSM or ESM for the G.
I will try this the first time in two weeks at the strip. this should help my 60' 's
I will have my car realigned afterwards to see how close I get back to stock

Re: aligning for various racing is easy
What's the FSM and ESM stand for? If you can:
A. Do this easy and
B. Get it 99% back to OEM specs after...and
C. It helps your 60' times, this would be great.

If you go to Maxima.org and search for quarter mile times (I have posted all of this before with little to no interest over here) you will see that the 02-03 Auto Maxima's (E.G., my wife's) murder the G35 Sedan and Coupe 5AT's for the most part, and then when you go to the 02-03 Maxima 6 MT's vs the G35 Sedan and Coupe 6 MT's it gets a lot closer with the Infiniti's having a slight edge, and I do mean slight at the most.
I have gotten many good responses on why this is so, and if you search for any thing I am associated with here for posts (It usually has to do with the 1/4 mi) you should be able to get some good info.
I ran my wife's car a handful of times, won every race, even against a midly modded WRX, and the slowest time I ran was 14.6...the car rocks. Search this forum for 1/4 mi times and you will see that I think 3 or so people, with 6 spd Sedans are beating my wife's car's times.
