Hello fellows, very simple question: where are the right safe jack points if i were to jack up the car for wheel changing? (both front and rear)

Car is a r33gtst, will be using regular garage trolley jack.

please see the attached pictures. are those circled (red and black) the safe points for jacking up?

thanks

I'd guess to say the blacks are "safe" and red circles should be avoided. Shop manuals (FSM) usually say to avoid jacking from a differential.

stick your head under there and look at the flange on the bottom of the sill facing down where the unibody is welded together, it runs along the length of the sill. There will be small notches cut out in the front and the back. These are the reinforced jacking points for use with the stock scissor jack. Every Nissan I have seen is this way. For floor jack use use the diff to lift the rear and the engine crossmember to lift the front.
