G'day SAU members!

Been a long time reader of this forum, so glad I've finally signed up!

I'm 17, from Pymble on the North Shore as you can see.

I'm currently on my red P's but an automatic license.. ;) Turning 18 in January and hoping to get enough cash/the rents input to afford an R33 GTST in manual :( Then add some mods over the years as I go.

Here's my current car - just a stock Peugeot 206 from 2002.

Hoping to get to know all of you guys and meet up some time in the near future.

Cheers for reading! Leave a reply if you like!

Seb

Hi,

Welcome to the forums - but hey, you've been on them a lttle while eh? At least you're constructive

Me? I'm signing up membership this week. Will be glad to help out should you get your Skyline soon or anytime.

My Dad had a Peugeot 403. Remember that one? Column shift!

Downside: it was used by Columbo the US detective that was a bumbling but smart fool/hustler

Upside: it won the SE African Safari Rally numerous times.

Cheers,

Terry

      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.
