BTW, youj can fit a bigger filter if you want. The flat surface the filter mates onto is quite large. Just get one with same thread & bigger body & it will work OK.

Might want to check to make sure you can drive a VQ35de Stagea.

Can't legally drive a VQ35de Skyline in Vic and NSW, so maybe SA have followed suit?

VQ35 Stagea should be fine, over here the regulations are

High-powered vehicles

A high powered vehicle is a light vehicle with a Gross Vehicle Mass of less than 4500 kgs that has:

  • 8 or more cylinders
  • a turbocharged or supercharged engines(except diesel powered vehicles with less than 8 cylinders)
  • been modified to increase engine performance (link to vehicle modifications section below)
  • been nominated high performance vehicles - refer to the list of Included Vehicles in the High-powered vehicles notice below.

And the high powered list doesnt mention the VQ Skylines thumbsup.gif

    • 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.
