hey, i know this is pathetic and for most people is common sense, but if someone could please help a fellow noob out it'd be appreciated.

ive been searching on this and other forums about the correct spot for the jacking points for mainly the rear wheels. now when it comes to the chassis side of things im not really educated much in the area, and have heard that the x member (not a clue to what this is), and the diff (diff support, or something?) are good spots for jacking.

again, if anyone could enlighten me id be grateful. :D

hi, ok so the jack will have to go right in the middle where the diff housing is? or next to it, according to what side wheel your doing?

cheers.

I use the middle of the diff to jack the rear up. You can use the jacking points on the left / right hand side.

Also this was the 3rd result in google http://media.photobucket.com/image/r33%20j...kPoints.jpg?o=1 these are the official jackpoints, I only use them for the front because my jack cannot reach the chassis.

Hi, i saw the diagram there, though still was hesitant about putting it on the rigid rack parts because wasnt sure if it would suit a hydraulic jack as i dont have one of the genuine nissan ones. and to get to the diff i dunno if i can even get my head in there to see anthing let alone fit my jack in there. car might be a bit too low. :yes:

shit i think im paranoid that my car will topple over and possibly ignite leading to a gigantic explosion.

lol, thanks for the replies guys. :cheers:

I use a low jack + half a brick to reach my rigid jack points :yes:

Another solution is to drive the car onto something to get to a point where you can jack it, I've seen plenty of people say 'ramps' but if your car is very low its hard to find ramps low enough to put the car on.

what I normally do is raise the car a bit with the floor jack, position it under the sill. Then I can slide the trolley jack under the diff or cross member.

Do not go underneath your car while it's resting on the jack !!!!!! Please use the car stands, jack is not stable.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.
