I just came from Kwik Fit, I went to have the front tracking done, his chart list a UK 300zx having toe -out (no listing for import): the 300zx manual on cd (from Zcenter) list it as 0 - 2 mm TOE IN.

 

Which is it ? Mine is an import, 1992 non turbo.

 

Thanks

Hmm, most RWD cars are toe in

Autodata lists as 0-1.5mm toe IN

Thanks again Paul, I should have known better than to ask Kwik Fit

 

 

Cheers

Toe out, as well as incorrect camber will cause the tyres to wear on the inside edge. Too much toe in will cause wear on the outer edge. Getting the right balance is the tricky part ...

Thanks Andy,

 

I'm off to find a competant wheel alignment place now

I am also after a competant wheel alignment place, have tried some of the local garage but they cant seem to do it on the rear wheels. My Z is pulling to the left.

Im in Telford Shropshire.

Spent most of yesterday setting my tracking up at both front and rear. Car was very twitchy before, but now its as solid as a rock. Well worth a few hours with the tracking equipment to sort it out.

Back is now 11 minutes toe in (bang in the middle of the tolerance) and front 10 minutes toe in (spec is max 11 mins max). So much better.

Now just need a track day to really test it.........................:D :D
