opps. how bad did i screw up?

[bersh240]

soo puttin the new shocks on i put the jackstand in the wrong place by accident. and.. the result is the above pic.i no these things dont matter if theres little dents and stuff in them. but thats a pretty bad bend.what should i do? leave it?

[skuurtin s13]

doesnt look to bad, most likely wont affect anything

[OutToWinPAHC]

Correction you did not put the jack stand at the wrong place by accident, you put them their on purpose, but it happened to be the wrong place..

The rails are fine, happens to most of these cars. It would have been nice if nissan did make them out of a thicker gaige steel.

But non the less, don't loose sleep over it.

[skuurtin s13]

and jesus how big is that exhaust piping it looks huge

[Chris28]

Mine look like that x532452. It's not bad, just try and put the jack in the correct place next time.

the exhaust is 3"all the way back. i hate it. everyone on here yells at me for 4x4 but i cant go lower cuz exhaust already drags on everything after droppin it a lil. heres another pic from a lil farther away. it looks to have come apart from the floorboards. sure its ok? just paint the bare metal thats exposed?

The S13's have the worst jacking locations ever. I just replaced my cat, it was a nightmare. My jack, along with a block of wood doesn't even go under the car and it doesn't even have coil overs!

[scooz14]

try driving the car up onto 2x4's next time beofr you try to jack it up. its the only way i can get my jack under my car

Man i dont know what it is but my 180sx has a section of that missing on one side! and i have seen it on about 2 more 180sx in Australia!

[S14toRPS13]

Use the rear diff or the front cross member for jacking. I have to use my scissor jacks first to raise the car high enough to where I can fit the floorjack under everytime. It's such a pain in the @ss. I've contemplated buying this, but the price seems to keep going up!!

that's normal for 180's and silvias.

[spooled240]

mine are a little bent from my noob self jacking the car up the wrong way when i first got my car put the jackstands under the rocker panels where the body is actually stronger.

rest assured it's a 240, it's not gonna affect anything and SHIIT HAPPENS

[Trigga]

that's normal for 180's and silvias.

wow, any idea why?

[Philipio]

Just what are the proper jackstand locations? I used my Nismo Power Brace when installing a new steering rack this weekend and it seemed to work well.

[bersh240]

right behind where the rails curve up. found that out real quick.
