Hello guys and gals, new to this site and wanted to ask a silly question since i recently got a r34 vspec. Im looking at removing the front bumper (is there a thread for bumper removal) to install new intercooler. Wondering if you guys know the lifting points on the car so i can place my jack stands on the correct spots. Please let me know if you can help me out. Thanks alot for your help :):yes:

chassis rails are quite soft, I have bent them before. With a block of wood to spread the load you should be OK but make sure your lifting setup is solid and not going to fall off the jack.

Axle stands - Crossmember at the front, subframe at the back. Those will NEVER move :)

Dont use the chassis rails there are 4 points on the sils that have a lump for the jack stands to sit in nicely and are a solid point, using the cross member is fine aswell but rails will bend

Don't see a way to use these without crushing the surrounding "seams"

    • Spotted in Adelaide last week.... mine! New to me two weeks ago.. love it!
    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
