As the title suggests, does anyone know what components are available to increase the amount of negative camber in the rear of an NM35 Stagea? I'm slowly attempting to create a 'VIP'/'bippu' style build but I can't find a whole lot of parts to suit the NM35. Currently I have fitted Driftworks Front Upper Camber Arms to suit a 350z and have gotten to -6 deg happily but the rear is sitting at -5 deg with only a coilover installation. I do have 350z Rear Camber Arms but they seem to only be able to mount to adjust toe. At this stage its looking like most components will have to be fabricated.

Japan is always the best place to look first, to see whats available.

Following that, I think you have to risk attempting to fit parts from Y34/F50 for the rear upper arms and the rear spring bucket lowering perch

You could also use the Z33/V35 rear spring delete for full coilover conversion and additional toe adjustment (to allow more camber from the camber arms).

Or you can weld on some thread for rear spring bucket adjustment

OR (and probably the easiest method) is to fit offset bushes to the rear upper arm.
(i think its these)

Also, you said you have rear camber arms, but what about rear toe arms? its a must-have with camber arms because the camber arm adds just as much toe as it does camber....

I do have MCA Suspension 'Street Performance Series' coilovers installed all round dropping my ride height very low.

Since initially posting this thread I have seen a number of cars (none being stageas unfortunately) using an adjustable spring bucket as well as other components to adjust rear camber. 

I may try offset bushes before attempting to order parts from Japan. Thank you for those links. I haven't been able to find any to suit from my own research. 

I have said I have them but they aren't able to be installed for their intended purposes. They do, however, bolt in to replace the factory toe arm. All of the camber in the rear currently is achieved through lowering the car alone. 

Attached is a photo of how the stagea sits currently.

That's a lot of camber from just lowering.
The rear end of Z33/V35/M35/G35/M45/Y34/F50 should all be very similar. Americans don't have any M35's so not many brands advertise for them or have test fitted to confirm.

I know, even I was impressed. 

I think I may have to run the risk of fitting parts from Japan to get the desired camber. I'm not hugely keen on cutting and welding unless I absolutely must.

    • Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult
    • Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 😂  So what's the plan for the exhaust? 
    • The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.  
    • Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.
    • Do u know how to identify the rods are rb25 or neo ones? Can u look into the pics and tell me is they de or de neo ones. Its confusing becoz my motor has de neo head but block is 25de 75t, so really confusing me about rods, crank.
