Using Jack Stand...where to contact point?

CB1 · 11-11-2011, 08:45 PM

I am putting on HFC and a CBE system. Got everything off except the stock cats. Damm those bolts are a mother f*cker!!!!! I already broke a 14mm socket trying to get the passenger side bolt loose that you have to go in from the top of the engine bay. St*t!

Hard to see my red circles... Are these the front and rear "Garage Jack Points"?

For the front, that is the contact point I used. I haven't needed to jack up the rear yet, though.

Figured I would post in this thread and not the other. That is it. I have a Craftsman 4 ton jack with removable saddle. I remove the saddle when I jack the front and the dimple fits right in the hole on the jack plate very nice and secure.

Repped. I wish I had these images a couple weeks ago

This should have its own thread. I encourage you to create "370Z Floor Jack Points" thread so people can find it in search

Thanks! Looked for a while for this with no luck.
I have just one more cat bolt... Can't believe how hard these are to get off...

This is good info to have, esp considering the orig diagram is crap!

Okay, so this weekend I'm going to put on my Evo-R side blades. How do I go about jacking up one side at a time and putting jack stands under it?

lol... you simply get a floor jack (one will do) and put it under the side towards the front where the little notches are (jacking point) and hoist. The whole side of the car will come up (both wheels). I use a couple of jack stands just for added security and viola!

?? The four lift points are on each side. There's a little double notch along the metal "rail". Refer to the manual for the diagram.

They're located where the dual notches/grooves are bro. Underneath the side skirt and near the tire.
