just while on the subject of jacks, a mate of mine has one with a little foot lever on the side next to the handle. it jacks it up like pumping the handle, but it does it faster (and therefor has less lifting force) but it means that when you slide it under the car, you just stomp on it a few times and it has raised it up to be touching the car and taking up some of the slack of the suspension. it is excellent for if you have slide the jack under the car a bit and can only move the handle a little way. you just reach under, pump the little lever a few times and the jack is touching the body, then you can use the handle to start lifting the car.

where are the jacking points on an r34gtt? and where do the jack stands go? (front and rear)

Should be on the inside side of either gaurd, look for a section that is a bit wider and had a bit more bracing than the rest.

Other jacking points are the diff at the rear and the Engine crossmember for the front.

I've had a set of Pro-lift stands from Repco for a few years, spent the majority of that time with a mate's 32GT-R up on them (thing was standing on them a good couple of years) with no problems, and they're the ratcheting ones.

I just got a nice big ass Hydrolic Jack this week. From Supercrap Auto. They had a sale on.

It is a proper heavy duty jack that ican be rebuilt. Retails at $200 reduced to $89.

The sale was only last weekend but if you look online there could still be some available.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
