Using a Car lift on the 370z ( lift points)

synolimit

My car rocks on the oem jack points on my lift. If i pushed the rear end, removed the diff, pulled down on the front etc etc the car would fall flat on its face in a horrible crash.

Dang that’s crazy. It’s always just a PITA for me to get the car on the lift using the oem jack points because the arms won’t retract far enough unless i line it up perfect. Even then I never really felt confident putting it there because the pinch welds arnt long enough and i can’t get the lift arm pad to contact the whole pinch weld. The 370z’s have such a short wheelbase

Well you did remove almost everything from the rear half of the car, even a good portion of the fuel tank. It's not too surprising the center of gravity is almost in front of the front pinch welds. What are your corner weights now?

Thanks for the helpful replies everyone. Feel much more confident knowing others use this point as well.

I took a 2x4 block though, cut out a line in the center and pushed that up against the pinch welds and thinned the block so its flush with the bottom of the car. Now when the jack pushes up its putting the weight on a 3.5x3.5" block under the body and the weld. No worries now.

I dont know, haven't weighed in a while. The roll cage added a good 100-200lbs back there though.
