There is entirely tooo much Jackin' goin on....

 

I'm assuming to do an oil change with these, you'd drive up the front, then jack up the rear and put it on jackstands?

 

No need to do that. The drain plug is conveniently located to the rear of the pan and drains completly while the car is on the ramps. only issue I have with them is they tend to push forward when placed on a smooth surface. You can solve this by placing the ramps on a old piece of carpet or like I do, line up a 2x4 section in front of the ramp incline.

 

Sweet, thanks. I didn't know that. I'm tired of being charged to do an oil change. I'll have to go pick up a set of these and a jub of Mobil 1.

How about the oil filter? Is that convienent to get to as well up on the ramps?

 

Yes, very easy. Everything is accesible from under the front of the car. Step-by-Step guide here. You should also get a new drain plug washer. Make sure to install it the proper side up.-

^Bah, thanks. My *** should've looked first to begin with... lol.

 

You changed your oil using the stock jack?

Even if you dont know sh*t about cars, something in your head had to tell you that was a bad idea...

edit: Didn't you post another thread about getting takata ramps so you can use a floor jack and get jackstands under the car???

 

<----- built "ghetto" ramps out of plywood for $10. $5 of it was for nails because I didn't have any.

My floor jack sucks ***, it doesn't really lift high enough to make it easy to get the jack stands under the car.

Plus, my jack stands tend *** up that hard gray foam spray stuff underneath the car that straddles the frame. Anyone have any ideas how to combat this problem? Anyone know what I'm talking about?

 

You lifted up one side?

or you lifted up one corner?

 

he had to have lifted the whole driver or passenger side of the car. like i stated before. ive never seen the jack colapse using it on one of the corners. but i have seen one brake lifting the whole side of a 300zx

 

^And they were heavier than our 350's.

 

heavier or lighter, they still arent made to support a whole side. ill go look but im pretty sure they are only rated at 750 pounds

 

^Oh I completely agree with you. I'd never trust that little itty-bitty jack.

 

You will probably get a free replacement jack but i doubt Nissan will pay out anything unless you were hurt. Luckily your ok, I wouldn't trade my legs for any $$$.

Scarey **** man...........I'm always going to use jack stands.

 

Well, I don't have a Z but do oil changes on the Accord. And I had the same problem, so I just put a piece of wood between the jack and the frame. It seems to be working fine since the frame doesn't receive all the stress.

 

I thought about this but I didn't have a saw to cut a notch in the wood. And I don't just want to precariously rest a piece of wood on there that could fall down.

I'm pretty sure I already put some kind of minor puncture wound in that gray foam stuff. I don't think it really does much other than insulate vs. heat and sound, at least I hope not

 

or $30 at walmart...

 

i guess he got tired of being made to look stupid and stopped posting.... wouldnt eve answer questions directed to him

 

you are now declared an official TROLL. I don't understand how you can be a site sponsor, when you're such a d*ck?! Aren't you suppose to be cool to your pontential customers, mr. sponsor man?

 

lol.. yup.. it's all jacked up.


ps ramps don't clear my bumpers...
to clarify, I used the stock jack only to fit my heavy duty jack, cuz it doesn't clear my sideskirts. I then use it again to lower it after taking out my big ol jack.
