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?

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.

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

      Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.

      Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)
