ug45cwb Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Recently had a nismo kit fitted and the side skirts seem to cover up the jack points so I cant fit my new wheels. I believe there is another jack point in the centre but I don't have the correct jack for it. I would happily pay a local garage for fitting but how the hell am I going to get the wheels there?

martinmac Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I am not sure about the nismo but with the Ings I just drive the car onto some wooden blocks, the jack can then clear the skirts and lift on the original jacking points.

EDIT: when youve done it a few times it only take seconds tp get them in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Go buy a trolly jack, one from Machine Mart is good... the aluminium one. Very useful... Easier than transporting wheels! You need at lease a 1.5 tonne one. Costco also do one... 2 jacking points under the centres, use the rear diff and there is spot just at the back of the front under tray. You may still need to go up on blocks to get the trolly jack underneath... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanS16 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 You can use the standard jack (from the boot) on the car with nismo sideskirts, thats what I use. Then use a trolley jack once the car is high enough. The skirts def dont cover the jack points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosnt really matter as I cant get the OEM jack under them anyway! Which ever way I jack I need to go on blocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep they are flat but skirts dont wrap round underneath enough to cover the jack points. In fact, I haven't found a jack yet that gets under the car without blocks other than the nissan OEM jacks. I did get a clio sport jack underneath it once but the jack bent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
