Nala is like NICO's own Norm Abrams when it comes to working with wood (mind out of the gutter...I was talking about the snowplow) - maybe he's got some pointers.audtatious wrote:So, I tried making some ramps with wood and it still didn't work.
Funny, a few years ago I thought I would get smart and purchase a pair of car ramps. Thus far they have only worked on the back of one car, my old Maxima (the front would not work). I don't think they would work with the stock G35 sedan and I know there's no way my car would be able to use them.bigbadberry3 wrote:Been there lol.
I used my civic's jack at one wheel at a time. I then dead lifted the wheel and had my friend slide about 8 2.5 inch thick woods planks underneath the wheel.
Repeat 3 times.
Are you associating me with Nala?BusyBadger wrote:Nala is like NICO's own Norm Abrams when it comes to working with wood (mind out of the gutter...I was talking about the snowplow) - maybe he's got some pointers.audtatious wrote:So, I tried making some ramps with wood and it still didn't work.
I think that's the first time I saw pics of your G. Nice!
No, not at all. You need more fail on your résumé, and a few years of practical experience on top of that.audtatious wrote:Are you associating me with Nala?
Request a flatbed while you're on the phone with the towing company, you save time for the both of you. I've seen some pretty low rides on flatbeds in my area lately...must be something in the fuel supply.alms24sebring wrote:Yeah thats probly the worst thing about having a lowered car. It sucks even more when it wont fit on ramps if you try and tow it either. Been there.. in the rain.. it sucks.

I would. Hopefully I will have a tad more clearance now.BusyBadger wrote: Request a flatbed while you're on the phone with the towing company, you save time for the both of you. I've seen some pretty low rides on flatbeds in my area lately...must be something in the fuel supply.
I've only had issues with the crappy lower engine cover scraping on speed bumps and such. That should be fixed now that this has been installedelwesso wrote:if you cant even get a jack under the car makes me nervous i'd bottom out on a rough railroad track or something.
I always ask for flatbeds, but I think that lowered cars can have problems with flatbeds too ... the car has to be winched onto the flatbed and this can damage the bottom of the front air-dam (below the grill).BusyBadger wrote:Request a flatbed while you're on the phone with the towing company, you save time for the both of you.

My rails are about 3 inches off the ground and have yet to meet anything that hit it.elwesso wrote:if you cant even get a jack under the car makes me nervous i'd bottom out on a rough railroad track or something.
When I had that problem, I took some extra 2x4s I had lying around and set them between a wall and the ramps.Razi wrote:My car pushes my ramp around because my bumper hits the ramp before the wheel.
I have to reverse my car into the garage, put my ramps on the sloped driveway, then drive onto them.
I still push them forward a bit, but manage to get on them.
I've always had this problem... even when driving the car up onto 2x4s before driving up onto the ramp.Razi wrote:My car pushes my ramp around because my bumper hits the ramp before the wheel.
