Message	Does anyone else jack their 300zx up at the safety stand points? I was talking with another forum member and they mentioned that they use their hydraulic jack at the safety stand points. I didn't know if this would cause some strange flex on the chassis or if it would be okay. I've always jacked my car up by the cross brace as stated in the FSM, but I've never been able to use a jack without driving my car up on ramps, and I've tried two different low-profile jacks.
