Lift/Jacking Points

exedy699

I got to making my first real mod to the Z, and while working with a very knowledgeable guy he mentioned something that was new to me. He basically suggested never using the pinch welds to jack up the car or hold it. As well as never to trust the scissor jack (which I understood, but he literally refused to use it almost).

My question to all the fellow Nismo owners is what you used to lift your ride, and where you lifted it from. We ended up having to do a tricky two-jack lift since one was low profile to get underneath the splitter, but another jack entirely to bring it up higher since the first one only went up so high and we had used the front jacking plate and the diff for the rear. Oh, and as far as the scissor jack goes, I was just curious if it is safe to use it to lift the car one side at a time to be put in stands.
