Nothing really wrong with a well-built scissor jack but they usually have a small base which can make them dangerous if used on a surface that is not level and hard. Garage use is OK.

A low-profile floor jack should be able to get under your Nismo.
Thanks! yeah I was referring to the points stated in the manual, so that's good to know.

So you think using the scissor jack included in our cars to lift one side, and then the other should be ok in a garage setting?

I never used a scissor jack on my Z but I've used them for at least two decades on many other cars. Just follow the usual safety precautions (chocks, don't raise past the limit of the jack, &c) and you should be OK.

If you plan on raising the car very often, a hydraulic floor jack is a good investment.

Edit: Do not use a scissor jack (or any other jack for that matter) to support the vehicle - use stands.

That makes sense.

I'll definitely be ordering a hydraulic jack, I'll make sure to spend what's needed for a low-profile one. And I wasn't referring to using the jack to hold the vehicle, just to raise it one side at a time in order for a stand to be placed
