hey,

I'm trying to replace by exahaust system.... I have problems locating alternate jacking points..

the vehicle is R34, the jack has this indentation.

the jacking point is actually a T looking thing...where the indentation slot into the stem of the T.

I need to get under the car for quite a reasonable long time...so I dun feel safe depending only on the jack..I've got those fixed support thigy which has groove and will sit nicely behind the T thingy...the problem is....if the fixed support suppose to be seated at the jackign point, I need to jack the car from some other points....tried a couple of different spots and the steel sheet dented....kinda expected if you ask me, that's like 400kg on a sheet of metal

so I've been trying to locate jacking point randomly..its got the same result..whenever I jack the car up, the sheet dented in...anyone know a good spot?

+ I need help with compressor...those bolts conencting the exhaust are real tough can't open them with spanner...so I went shopping and found this mini compressor for abt $200, the size probably 30 x 20mm...the larger model are about the same price as well..which one you recomend?

...I've got those fixed support thiNgy ...
Axle stand.

Yes, NEVER support the vehicle on the chasis rails. Sit the axle stands under the rear suspension cradle.

Give the bolts a good soaking with WD40 or similar, and try and use a ring spanner or hex socket on them. Before you invest in a compressor, get a good trolley jack.

hey dude... u cud just get a pair of ramps and put the on the rear wheels ( reverse the car onto them)

if u want the actual jacking points download the car manual service guide for the r34...google search it :huh:

trying to replace front & dump pipe as well.. I need to get to the front..

I'm not sure if its the same on the R34 but on th R33 if you dont want to jack it up on the side rails you jack it up on the front cross member for working on the front of the car or the rear diff for the rear of the car. This was in general maintenance section a while back

You'll need a trolly jack they're pretty cheap nowadays

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
