Hey all, I cant seem to search up the answers, so please get back to me.

I want to get some car stands for my skyline, but the ones in the workshop manual are different to any i've seen and use specific adaptor things so the stands sit curved around the sills as the stand location are the standard scissor jack ones.

Can someone advise me what they do for stands and jacking? As i dont want to damage any of the under side of my car or bend the sills and ruin the jacking points when i put my car on stands.

I want to use them when do oil changes, but also cos gonna do my gearbox and diff oil in the next week or so.

Have you guys made up adaptors or so, is there specific stands that work best? And how to avoid damaging the bottom of my car ect

Cheers guys!

Got a pic of these locations, cos not heard they were any good for the car, and the only ones the workshop manual talk about are the standard scissor jack spots, which is where i wanted to put the stands... Once sort out some rubber blocks or some sort of thing...

i put the front stands under the engine cross member, and the rears on the subframe near where the rear lower controls arms bolt up. though i am more comfortable using ramps if the wheels dont have to come off :)

Perfect description above , if you cant find these points dont bother servicing your car

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
