Default Nismo Ramps

I bought a set of Rhino ramps for the '10 Nismo and had to build a pre-ramp. I used some old shelving board I had laying around the garage.

Five steps in total. I think 4 MIGHT have worked but oh well I had some extra boards so why not use them. 3 defiantly does not work.

Got it up and down the ramps with no problem. Made for an easy oil change.

They are really easy to make. If you choose to make it out of the same type of "wood" as I did, the pre-cut shelving board is just the right width.

You'd think Rhino would make an adapter ramp for their ramps for lowered vehicles...

(If they do already cool, just haven't seen like a mini-ramp adapter)
