All the measured angles are fuel dependant on the 300ZX. So unless you had 100% (as required) on the day the measurements are worthless.

Quote> Giant Slayer The front camber positions will definitely wear the inners..... Did they give you any reason why the camber was left so negative? Also the castor is low... Was you asked to fill the fuel tank prior to the calibration.

The cars Geometry calibration is dependant on the intended use. Appreciate there is a vast difference between domestic-track-drift-trials calibrations. Next question is the driver.....What is he expecting from the car? Are we looking for tyre preservation or pure domestic handling to compliment the modifications. If we were to calibrate a modified car for domestic fast-road then it's wise to corner weight the vehicle and determine the dynamic index, then ascertain the suspensions natural frequency.... For most drivers 1.8Hz ps or 1.8 driver inputs per second to drive the car comfortably is desired. As for the actual calibration positions.......There isn't any? The modified domestic car will need a assumed calibration fingerprint that will allow the driver to feel the dynamic chassis... The feedback from the driver determines the final calibration positions assuming tyre preservation is not the only goal. Point to remember, Geometry is a modifier used to interact with the suspension maintaining the tyres footprint. A vehicle like the WRX has next to no Geometry to maintain handling even in the most extreme situations...whereas a car like the Omega has a huge Geometric requirement. I hope this helps Tony

Understand the possibility of camber wear may return! With the best intentions a spirit level cannot be considered absolute........ Be wise!.... Tiss better than Dead!

Yes. The modified car rests on the theoretical Geometrically and i wonder how people here cope with the lack of understanding offered by the tyre industry attempting to set the car up, even for basic Alignment.

I cannot see a newbie area so i thought H/A seemed a good place to say hello...so 'Hello' I'm 42 Married with two children :D both girls 'teenagers' :headvswal My work is Geometry and Geometry Theory. I wonder if you guys could help me explore the 300zx..... Geometrically.... what sort of problems do you encounter? Doe's the 300 have inherent Geometry traits? I welcome any advice... Tony
