STEERING AND GEOMETRY SETTINGS

[ZMANALEX]

These are always being asked for.

 

 

 

Another Sticky perhaps !!!!!

 

Cheers,

Once again, a great post Alex.

Perfect just what I was looking for!

 

Loving this place needed to know two things and both were on the first page of technical no searching needed!

 

Thanks!

Have you got these for the 370 Alex?

Yes Colin I do, but I will have to retrieve my 370 workshop cd from my local Nissan garage.

 

If I recall the numbers were very similar, but leave it with me.

I can't see an obvious reason for the different camber and toe-in readings between the two pages. Are they different models Alex?

Front and back wheels.

Colin,

 

The 370 SDS can be found here.

When it comes to rear toe-in, why is there a variation between 17 and 18 inch wheels?

 

I can understand the mm settings being different due to different diameter rims, that's fine and makes sense. However, when I convert those given settings to degrees, which I find it easier to work from, there is quite a big variance.

 

Rear 17" = 0.2mm - 1.8mm / 0.05deg - 0.48deg

 

Rear 18" = 1.1mm - 2.7mm / 0.28deg - 0.68deg

 

The reason I started looking at this is because I have 19" rims and need to sort out the alignment, so I decided to try to work out what they might be.

 

There is a pattern between the 17" and 18" where the minimum and maximum settings are 0.9mm more for 18", so I applied that theory to calculating the settings for 19".

 

Rear 19" = 2.0mm - 3.6mm / 0.48deg - 0.86deg

 

A minimum toe of 2.0mm/0.48deg seems pretty big to me, but I'm far from an expert.

 

I know I could just set everything towards the maximum of 18" and it'd be fine, but is really like to know the actual settings and figured since 19" was an option with the LMGT4's there may be settings available.

 

For anyone looking to check my calculations, to convert mm - deg you use the following calculation which will give you the number of mm per deg.

 

Rim size X 25.4 X pi / 360

Hi,

 

I’ll be taking my Zed in for a wheel alignment check soon.

 

I’ve seen some posts that refer to an increase in toe in from the Nissan standard, as it improves handling.

 

Can anyone please advise what the increased toe in should be?
