Jacking Point? Where

[SKY 34]

hey,

I'm trying to replace by exahaust system.... I have problems locating alternate jacking points..

the vehicle is R34, the jack has this indentation.

the jacking point is actually a T looking thing...where the indentation slot into the stem of the T.

I need to get under the car for quite a reasonable long time...so I dun feel safe depending only on the jack..I've got those fixed support thigy which has groove and will sit nicely behind the T thingy...the problem is....if the fixed support suppose to be seated at the jackign point, I need to jack the car from some other points....tried a couple of different spots and the steel sheet dented....kinda expected if you ask me, that's like 400kg on a sheet of metal

so I've been trying to locate jacking point randomly..its got the same result..whenever I jack the car up, the sheet dented in...anyone know a good spot?

+ I need help with compressor...those bolts conencting the exhaust are real tough can't open them with spanner...so I went shopping and found this mini compressor for abt $200, the size probably 30 x 20mm...the larger model are about the same price as well..which one you recomend?

...I've got those fixed support thiNgy ...

Axle stand.

Yes, NEVER support the vehicle on the chasis rails. Sit the axle stands under the rear suspension cradle.

Give the bolts a good soaking with WD40 or similar, and try and use a ring spanner or hex socket on them. Before you invest in a compressor, get a good trolley jack.

I'm not sure if its the same on the R34 but on th R33 if you dont want to jack it up on the side rails you jack it up on the front cross member for working on the front of the car or the rear diff for the rear of the car. This was in general maintenance section a while back

You'll need a trolly jack they're pretty cheap nowadays
