Do you have the standard jack with the little cut out piece that jacks on the side rail of the car? The correct way to jack the car, as far as I kno, is to jack the car and stand it with stands that have an attatchement very similar to the jack top. I've seen it somewhere, they show the adapters and supporting it on 4 sides on the rail

Now I know your not going to have them or really want to aquire/make some. So I always jack the front from the crossmember and stand on the crossmember further out. At the back, jack from the diff and stand where the lower control arm meets the body (from memory)

not sure if this is the answer your looking for but thats how I do it (This is for an R33 BTW, R32 could be different)

I use the towhooks for the front of my R33 too. And as stated put stands under the crossmember. Need a pretty low/long jack to jack it up from the crossmember if its lowered.

Id suggest making yourself some wooden car ramps too.

The other idea i toy'd with was getting four scissor jacks and getting that little piece with the cutout and actually welding it onto the 4 corner jack points. This way it doesnt matter what jack you use.

Unfortunately i though of it after the jack point got squashed :(

yeah i have to use my scissor jack to lift a corner a tiny bit before sliding the jack under to use the crossmember, stupid returnflow cooler

Costco and eBay have Blue Point style low hydraulic jacks available nowadays for about $200.

Short, but can reach several jacking points including crossmembers.

    • 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)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
