I'll get more pics of the mounts this weekend.

I know in the rear; I’d always go to that point where the 3bolts & arms come together....just behind diff.
I have a special cut block that would fit right between FI exhaust & really worked well....about the the same spot up front.
Seems there was a dimple or slightly bulged place right near the center I used

Yea. There is a bump on the plate right behind the front splash shield. I have some low profile ramps I need to get the jack to it. Neither car is high enough to get my jack under the front without them.

I have that plate out right now but it's only 6 or 8 bolts. The extension post I ordered for the floor jack won't be here for a couple weeks so in going to snag a couple chunks of 4x4 off the job site and see if I can raise it enough with that. From what I'm seeing I need about 30" or so to roll the trans out on my jack and only have 24 ish right now

The Z is one of the cars that I have the most displeasure of jacking up.

21.3 inches with the pinch weld blocks on top of the short urethane blocks. Fully collapsed they're 3 inches tall so you should be able to store them under the Z.

Costco/Home Depot regularly have sales, I bought mine from Costco for 900ish. Honestly the best $900 I've ever spent.

Man, that floor is like my second bed. The concrete does wonders for my back, too.
