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.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By BaronOBeefdip · Posted

      Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.
