When placed into the jack lift pad and under the side of the Z, it lifts the car correctly to the height that I want and with no damage to the car. I did that about 7 years ago for My 350Z and I am still using it on the 370. It's cheap and you probably have the materials you need right there at home.

Food for thought...............
Good idea, thanks.... But don't you still have to be careful where you put the wood block? If you put it under the front floor plan you will buckle it for sure. So do you have a tip for placing the block, please? TIA
