in this picture, you can clearly see, the 370z is a fatty! haha, evidently this jack-point wasn't strong enough and started to bend..i don't wanna have my car up on jacks, and then all of a sudden this thing bends and I'm crushed to death lol.. so i figured the frame rails have to be sturdy as hell...so that's why i cut the rear fiberglass pieces so that i can fit the jack-stands on the rear as well ![]() ![]() |

I've had my z on jack stands many times and this has never happened. I'm assuming you didn't slowly lower your z onto your jack stands. Because you need a lot of force to bend the scissor tabs. You can also buy rubber pads to fit on your jack stands. But I guess it's too late for that since you bent them. I think its safer to place the jack stands where they belong, closer to the outside of the z where the weight is more balanced than finding your own spots.
