doesn't this make it look like neg. camber is the tops of the wheels pointing outward?

camber is the top point inward at the body making /-----\ shape when its negative and you were looking at it from head on at the cars face or ***. and vice versus this is positive camber \-----/ though exaggerated, you should get it.

mike88se

This is negative camber:

KasbeKZ

yeah. ok. i just thought it was the other way around.

boy are you stupid or something? thats not the argument, the argument is that there is rear camber on these cars from factory...

and anyway it will tell you that it is non adjustable or adjustable, all you have is the print off that is given to customers...

DatsunKid

Lol my dream z would be an rb30 240z with triple mikunis!

BlueKitsune

My dream Z would be the Devil Z! Or at the lest a 240Z that looks nice ^^"

280zx2by2

never seen a carbed rb before, have seen an rb with carbs converted to blow through TB's like you see on 4age motors... sounded like heaven


ps. if this thread wasn't off topic before it is now

BlueKitsune

Its ok if its Off Topic, I got my answer anyways lol

Darn it! I for a 240Z for sale finally and it has a V8 swap but Of course Theres no way in hell I can get $3k ... If I could buy it I would sell the engine and transmission from it as I have an L28E thats looking for a home in a 240Z

.......I do think I can get a loan for a car that old for that much with the economy atm

DatsunKid

Back to subject then, yes your car will have slight negative camber but it shouldn't be noticeable.

280zx2by2

and if it is noticeable or you have accelerated tire wear on the inside of your tires go get the car checked by a reputable service station...

BlueKitsune

The wear is fine oddly It just looks off So Im not that worried now.

BlueKitsune

OT Again cuz I dont wanna make a new thread.

You know the bar that hooks to the idler and pitman arms? And the tierods hook to it? How do you replace that balljoint that hooks to the pitman arm? Or do I replace the entire thing?

sho_shane

Um why are my post gone>

BlueKitsune

Idk.

Still trying to figure out what that part is call and where I can get it.

thrust angle, thats that one that no one cares about...

NismoPick

If I'm reading this correctly, and I like to think that I am (Ocean's Eleven quote), the rear camber range is from -0.1 to +1.4 ... hum... that would mean more of the range would be in the positive? What!?!?! -0.1 isn't much of a negative camber....

What did I say at the beginning? Oh yeah...

280zx2by2

well your not reading it correctly, the negative carries over (any -0.1 to -1.4 degrees of camber) positive camber makes it easier for the steering wheels to turn the car, so unless datsun started selling a 280zx with rear wheel steering systems... idk mabe they did lol

you know it makes sence quit being difficult

snwbrderphat540

the - doesnt carry over, all my print outs put the - again im looking at one right now.....

280zx2by2

thanks for the extra evedence

Bleach

There is no carry over. It is what it says. Without a negative symbol next to it, it is positive.

snwbrderphat540

so does this mean you admit stupidity?

BlueKitsune

Thanks for the part info nismo, I take it the joints on the end of that arnt replaceable huh? ugh...$400 part...

NismoPick

Which joints are you talking about? The "side rods" (#25 / #25) right?
