Hi all,

I have 3 questions regarding maintenance for an R34 GT-R V-Spec II.

1) Where are the jacking up points for the front and rear? Do I have to take off the F/R under diffusers before jacking up?

2) Where is the best place to put the Jack stands?

3) How do you take off the oil filer without causing a mess, because I had a look down there and it looks fairly tricky.

Any info would be greatly appreciated,

Hi all,

I have 3 questions regarding maintenance for an R34 GT-R V-Spec II.

1) Where are the jacking up points for the front and rear? Do I have to take off the F/R under diffusers before jacking up?

jacking points should be the same with 32 gtrs...at front cross member well with 32 has n X shape centre of car and the rear just past the diff there is a jacking point there as well

2) Where is the best place to put the Jack stands?

some people mount the jacks on the rails but not really good idea as you dont want to damage the rail, in the manual shows where you would jack the car up if u had a flat n use those points..just rear of front wheel n front of rear wheel....personally use the cross members.

3) How do you take off the oil filer without causing a mess, because I had a look down there and it looks fairly tricky.

yeah that sucks unless you have a hoist, placing rags under the oil filter location as your taking the filter out may minimise a mess..or get a oil filter relocator, saves you hassles in the future.

Any info would be greatly appreciated,

hope that helps

HA! install a remote oil filter, but thats a head f**k of a job cuz there is hardly any room to move in the engine bay.

As what godzl1975 said, use the rags or what I do is after getting the oil filter on, I spray around the filter with degreaser and the rinse of with water.

I hated jacking my Skyline (more specifically, where to place the stands)

The Rail's are fairly weak and i dont wanna crush em. The Sill's are a big no-no for obvious reasons (one of mine was squashed flat when i got it)

I used to use the curved section, front / rear, just near where the lower control arm attaches to cross member/rear cradle. I didnt like the idea of living under the car for days like this though.

Figuring Nissan designed the sills to take the weight, (as per manual) a mate, Apex Trudger made me up some thick dense rubber blocks with slits (in which the sill sits in) I place these on the jack stands.

I jack it where everyone else does.

Good point bout the front diffuser, from what your saying it sounds like the R34 one covers the x-member?

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
