Not necessarily new owner but new to working under the Z.... Dumb question I know but i spent the better part of today trying to jack up my car and get stand under there to remove my Greddy EVOII (was installed professionally and i don't want to fork out another $130.00 to get it swapped again...) but wasn't able to find good lift points. I searched 350z tech and found a lift point on what i think is the diff and up front equal to the diff. I also found pics of Z's raised with a jack on the diff but i can't seem to find a spot flat enough for the prongs on the jack to sit. I also tried on the frame but the gritty type coating just pushed in and sort of dented when I tried ot lift it there... 3 beers, 4 tylenol, and 5 hours later I'm still stumped... Any suggestions or decent pics of jack points? Thanks in advance.

^^^ good scale.

 

Great instructions, thanks. One question, does the floor jack bend the metal seam that would normally fit into the jack that comes with the car. I assume it will so what can you do to prevent this from happening?

 

I'm going to be picking up some very low ramps that I just saw in the new modified mag and a "pancake" floor jack so I can lift it after it's on the ramps... Might be a little OCD but rather be safe than sorry... I punctured a hole through my frame on my 240 trying to lift it with out a towel/wood to dispurse the weight equally...

 

I had that same problem. I had to learn on my own when I upgraded my suspension.

 

No joke it's hard enough doing it at stock height but I got GF210's in and I'm kinda puzzled...
