hehehe you guys are humourous.

Both of my cars are equally unreliable. I just got the honda back from 9 months hell with a workshop. This is just for repair of their stuff up :) I just want to complete the honda project with a final drag at a major event and see if it can get low 11. This is just for fun, nothing serious. After that, I won't drag the honda ever again. The honda and I had enough of bad workshops. If any of you guys move to SA and want to avoid BAD workshops let me know. There are only few good workshops. Looks can be very deceiving :)

It was a very good night.

There were not that many skylines at the beginning but all of the sudden the skylines all turned up after 730. Nice to meet you guys. Hope to see some more lines out there next time.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD.

      The pinchweld is fine, even with a trolley jack, so long as you're not actually pushing on the pinchweld itself. More to the point, we shouldn't talk about lifting or supporting on the pinchweld, we should talk about using the sill "jacking points", which just happen to be adjacent to the pinchweld. I just have dense rubber blocks with grooves in them for each of the chassis stands and the trolley jack, that I use at the sill jacking points if/when I have to lift/support there. They put all the load onto the steel pad of the jacking point and not the pinchweld. As intended.

      Makes sense.  I would do something different if I felt like there was a better option. Generally the only other area I'm happy to jack on is where I want to put the stand. The pinch weld is not an option for me for either the jack or stands, so very limited options overall.  Plus never having had an issue with doing this, has kinda reinforced in my mind that it's fine. I'd do it on any car without a second thought these days lol.

      I know on some cars it's explicitly endorsed in the service manual but a lot of them it isn't which is what gives me pause. I know a lot of cars also have you jack up the car by the radiator core support which is a lot easier to get to than some crazy deep section of the front subframe. I'm just reluctant to find out if any of that is really safe to do if not listed in the service manual. The FK8 has even the R-chassis beat in this regard, the front subframe jack point is almost fully behind the front tires and is surprisingly recessed into the car.

      I've been doing it for longer then I can remember and on pretty much every car I've owned without any issues.  Jack on a tow point (or under the rear diff), jack stands under control arms/other beefy suspension component is my go to if I'm not using the quick jack.
