Hi All,
I just bought a low profile 2 ton jack from Harbor Freight so I could change my oil(my very 1st time). It turned out the low profile wasn't low enough for the Nismo front. So I had to use 2 stock jacks from different cars to jack each side up slightly to sneak in the 2 ton jack. Then I realized I mis-interpreted the front center jack point. Look at the attached picture. Instead of being where the green check mark is, I jacked up the car where the red X is. Could I have damaged anything? That piece felt very solid and didn't bend at all. Later after I realized the problem, I jacked the car up again using the correct jack point. DSC05446b.JPG Also, I didn't know where to put the jack stands, so I put them where the "A" arm is. See picture number 2. I figured that was the strongest point. Could I damage anything? DSC05447.jpg DSC05448.jpg On one side, the jack actually hit the middle part instead of the bracket.
