...You waited over 3 months for a radiator plate, radiator cap and oil filler cap??? I thought 2 weeks was a long time :blush: .. BTW, where and how much did the Tomei Oil Filler Cap cost ya? I'm going with the Tomei theme for my engine (Tomei internals, Tomei turbo kit... and so on)

I got all the gear from Nengun.com, they send it from Japan which is why it takes a little longer. Took longer than usual for me due to them having troubles sourcing all the parts. Usually around 25 days or so.

You can get it through Nengun for $95 delivered [$76 for the cap itself], looked around and it goes for around $130 - $150 here in OZ i think you would have delivery on top of that. If you dont mind waiting you can save abit.

Thanks but I live in S.Korea so shipping doesn't take longer than 2 weeks. I just never seen a Tomei cap... always the nismo and other caps. I'll get it from my source... they have pretty good prices. Thanks for the info tho.

      R33 GTR lift points for hoist

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.

      Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.

      As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.

      but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell

      Absolutely. Look very closely at the photo (of yours) that I took my second snip of. See how the sill is thicker material right behind the pinchweld, where the two notches are? That is the factory reinforced area for lifting. That pad is supposed to carry the weight. The factory jack (go look at it, and how it interfaces with the car at the pinchweld) shows you exactly how the load is carried from the car to the jack to the ground.
