Y33 safe jack and jack stand points

[OldSchoolQ]

I have worked on Ford, GM, BMW, Honda, Toyota, and now my Q and this is the first time I can't find a safe lift point in the front of the vehicle. Please enlighten me.

On the frame rails where its double thickness. Youll see it do a turn down from the engine compartment near the exhaust manifolds (sorta) and right there its double thickness, you can jack it up a little behind there and put a stand there.

For the rear, i put the jack on the subframe and the stand on the frame rail where its double thickness.

From what I understand the adaptors they refer to in the diagram were never produced. I was advised to use hockey pucks by Kent Moore tools (who would have the adaptors if they were made).

I would download your FSM from http://www.phatg20.net

Do read the FSM. Lots of good information. Then the TSB and all the posts by Q45tech in particular.

NICO is your friend. Welcome.

You know, I've never really found a good place to jack up the Q with a floor jack. Everytime I do I feel like it's starting to crush that rail. I've got an extra infiniti sizzor jack that I use to jack it up, then put jackstands underneath.

I am comfortable putting a floor jack on the rear diff, but my jacks too much of a puss to jack up the heavy q from there.

Good information from all. Thanks. I tried downloading the FSM a month ago but phat's site was down. Rear diff works for the rear, and I think a piece of 2x4 on top of my floor jack at the point elwesso mentioned should work fine for the front. OldSkhl.

There are two other places mentioned over a thousand times on this board.

You must be more persistent is you don't want to flunk out of old school.

There is a couple of places called T-3 in your town. Learn about them for your own financial effectiveness and your car's health.

About the downloading?

I am hoping to purchase a Q45 sometime soon but as of yet not sure what year model.

I am wondering about downloading the Q45 FSM from the site mentioned in the above quote. I have visited the site briefly and there is a request? for a donation? not that I am against donating? for services rendered but if no donation? no download? What's da deal?

I am on dial-up. What am I faced with downloading the FSM seeing that there is mucho info in those manuals? I spend lots of time reading these forums and sometimes, depending on the time of day, I abandon the effort as it's near impossible to move in and out of sites.

I am not the most computer savvy dude by far but I do understand pretty much "how stuff works" and have managed to flounder my way around.

Thanks. Jack

I have all the Q FSM's on my computer, so if you'd want me to send it to you on CD via mail I can do that.
