Caleb_M35 Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 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.

Leroy Peterson Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Japan is always the best place to look first, to see whats available. http://www.nagisa-auto.com/products/nissan/m35.html 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 perchhttp://www.nagisa-auto.com/products/nissan/y34_f50.html 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)https://superpro.com.au/find/superpro-performance-handling-kit-for-a-superpro-suspension-parts-and-poly-bushings-for-nissan-350-z-z33-2003-2009-/productnr-SPF3321K/cid-999501121/vid-https://superpro.com.au/find/superpro-performance-handling-kit-for-a-superpro-suspension-parts-and-poly-bushings-for-nissan-350-z-z33-2003-2009-/productnr-SPF3313XK/cid-999501121/vid- 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....

Caleb_M35 Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 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.

Leroy Peterson Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 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.

Caleb_M35 Posted April 3, 2018 Author Share Posted April 3, 2018 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.
