Tony Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Nice and simple but not available in the books or by live up-date... Nissan have informed wim that the 350Z now has a total front toe measurement of +20', this is a far cry from the original +6'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

discount tyres dan Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 wow! was it a case of excesive tyre wear or something deeper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted November 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 wow! was it a case of excessive tyre wear or something deeper? Deeper... The 350 has had an ongoing issue regarding inner front tyre wear and heel/toe wear.. wim dealt with the heel pattern of wear in 05 over the pond, and although the results were not released the heel problem seemingly has been sorted.... But the inner wear remains hence this desperate move on the toe settings... Secretly i feel this story has another chapter to go yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My domestic contact with 350z owners is relatively small... Most times my contact is only with the main dealer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted May 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Update Nissan have revised the position again.. Total front toe +2mm (1mm partial) This example had 12k on the clock needed four tyres and had front toe positions of nsf: -.3mm osf: +.6mm Total: +.3mm Resulting in this.... So for now +2mm is the guideline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
