hey, i know this is pathetic and for most people is common sense, but if someone could please help a fellow noob out it'd be appreciated.

ive been searching on this and other forums about the correct spot for the jacking points for mainly the rear wheels. now when it comes to the chassis side of things im not really educated much in the area, and have heard that the x member (not a clue to what this is), and the diff (diff support, or something?) are good spots for jacking.

again, if anyone could enlighten me id be grateful. :D

hi, ok so the jack will have to go right in the middle where the diff housing is? or next to it, according to what side wheel your doing?

cheers.

I use the middle of the diff to jack the rear up. You can use the jacking points on the left / right hand side.

Also this was the 3rd result in google http://media.photobucket.com/image/r33%20j...kPoints.jpg?o=1 these are the official jackpoints, I only use them for the front because my jack cannot reach the chassis.

Hi, i saw the diagram there, though still was hesitant about putting it on the rigid rack parts because wasnt sure if it would suit a hydraulic jack as i dont have one of the genuine nissan ones. and to get to the diff i dunno if i can even get my head in there to see anthing let alone fit my jack in there. car might be a bit too low. :yes:

shit i think im paranoid that my car will topple over and possibly ignite leading to a gigantic explosion.

lol, thanks for the replies guys. :cheers:

I use a low jack + half a brick to reach my rigid jack points :yes:

Another solution is to drive the car onto something to get to a point where you can jack it, I've seen plenty of people say 'ramps' but if your car is very low its hard to find ramps low enough to put the car on.

what I normally do is raise the car a bit with the floor jack, position it under the sill. Then I can slide the trolley jack under the diff or cross member.

Do not go underneath your car while it's resting on the jack !!!!!! Please use the car stands, jack is not stable.

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
