How to properly jack up a nismo?

Cell · 08-22-2010, 12:30 PM

After going through the manual... it is not detailed enough to understand lol.

Does anyone have a picture of the nismo's under body and can circle where we can jack the car up? I am trying to get rid of those nasty suspension spacers...

Thank you.

there should be two little cut outs along the seam that runs on each side of the car. the jack stands go between those marks. it should be in the book.

I drive up onto 2x12 starter ramps and then fit my low profile jack under the front. There is a lift point in the middle of the front cross member. It's the little bump that sticks down.

Thanks guys.

I figured it out and it seems weird for it to be lifted on that location rather than a full flat surface.

Use a slotted small piece of 2x4, make sure you slot it deep enough so the outer sides are flush with underside of the frame. This will insure you don't damage your frame rails or the jack point rails.

I've been meaning to post these up for sale in the vendor section but I don't have very many left.

Sooooo as a fellow Nismo owner, I'll let you guys get dibs on these.

It's been hard to jack up my car especially since it's lowered. And it's a pain in the *** to get to the pinch welds/subframe without finding 2x4's laying around the shop.

I have five sets of these in the shop. Would you guys be interested?

Cost would be about $95 shipped.
