My skirts have covered all the jacking points along the side and have a notch at each end that only the rotten factory jack can get in. Tis a pain in the hole

I used ice hockey pucks on a low entry jack after driving onto a bit of 6x2 wood when I had my Nismo kitted 350.

 

This is completely genius.. I had one lying around from Guildford spectrum.. hoping its still around somewhere gonna have a hunt. Thanks mate

You can get puks for next to nowt on Amazon. Read the reviews, all they say is, "no idea if these are good for hockey, but I use them to jack my car up!"

None of this works if your car is lowered as well. The only way to get a jack under my car is to drive onto some wood blocks ( even with a low-rise jack and puck )

This is a post I made from another 'how to jack up zed thread from 2 weeks ago'

We'll as you know, you've answered you own question. Lol

 

Jack it up as on the diagram you describe. Trolley jack goes on the rear diff. There is a round metal knob that protrudes down from the diff - this is the jacking point so you don't have to remove the diff cover.

 

 

 

The front goes in between the front wheels, behind where the engine under cover is bolted. This I have a picture of.....

 

 

 

 

Getting under the car far enough can be a pain, I need to use block first. I just cut a length of 4x4 into 4 pieces. I drive up on these then there is room for the jack.

 

 

 

 

The other jacking points are marked by a little V cut out in the sill seam. This is designed for the scissor jack which has a slot in it for the seam so as not to damage it.

You can use a trolley jack or axle stand there, but with caution and you'll need to use a piece of wood or a hockey puk with a slot cut out so you don't crush the sill.

 

 

 

 

Hope that helps.

Also, if you drive onto the blocks as shown, it will alow you to use the OEM scissor jack as well. As the car is higher from the ground it allows the scissor jack to become narrower as it raises therefore not hitting your skirts.

Thanks for the detailed message mate it pretty much covers everything.. even for the challenged Zed owners like me Going to pick some bits and bobs up next month to make this easier like plastic ramps and a low trolley jack for myself

drive on to 2 bricks then jack the car up

l have used two one foot pieces of ska folding plank in the past just remember to drop it back on to the planks .
