Jacking up my s13 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I need to change my oil. I have a new jack and stand set, but I have never used one.
Where can I place the jack to lift it and where can I put my stands?
And should I leave it in first, with the e brake on with some wheels chocks?
Thanks,
Jeff

if i remember correctly, there are "rails" along the bottom of the car...somewhere on those rails (near the front) is a notch...that is where you place the jack...and chocks should always be used...as for your e-brake...i guess it couldn't hurt...but i haven't seen my brother use it...(he's the only one that owns a stick in the family)

When I lift mine I stick them underneath the structure rails (about a foot in from either side) all the way towards the front. Jack somewhere near that, stick the jackstand under, and go to the other side.
