I need to know where to put the jacks stands on my R33, I have tried doing a search and found some info but no pics and I am not 100% sure where to put them and dont want to cause damage to the car. If any body has pictures or can point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated

are you planning on jacking up the whole car or just one side/end? the proper places are under the door sill just behind the front wheels and just in front of the rear wheels. there is usually 2 small notches in the sill. otherwise you can put them under parts of the suspension points or even the cross member under the engine.

Whatever you do, don't jack it in the centre, under the sump lol.

I haven't jacked my skyline yet, but on the VL, we always jacked it just under where the springs are for the front, but I can't remember the back...something makes me think the diff, but then again I'm thinking that would have had adverse effects just like using the sump.

vl's had a standard diff (no IRS) so you could jack them off the diff if you did it near the suspension mounts. but you can also jack the car (either skyline or vl) from the actual diff housing as they are rather solid, however it isn't the best as the car can still tip to one side so jacking or placing jack stands as close to the outside of the car is the most stable and safest way to do it.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
