So... how do we jack the front of this car up?

I'll try driving up on 2x4's. Don't really need both ends jacked up to do the test pipes as far as I know. I'm not looking forward to the demon

I'm not looking forward to the demon bolts though.

If you don't have any boards laying around. You can use your scissors jack to raise the Z up enough to slide your other jack in to raise it the rest the way up.

Oh yea... forgot I have a jack in the trunk lol.

Also, I have craftsmen tools, so if this breaks it will be the first time I've ever broken one. I've broken plenty of other brands, and maybe craftsmen is the same, IDK but I have yet to break a craftsmen tool and I've put a beating on them.

Since crapsman is made in China now so I stopped buying them. It was a craftsman we broke and those bolts live up to their name. I felt like screaming... "WHY NISSAN WHY?!!"
