Jacking / supporting my NSX

[Steveycaz]

Where is the best place to position a trolley jack for lifting the NSX?
Is there anywhere to put axle stands? - I managed at the front but couldn't find a suitable surface at teh rear!

there's 3 jacking bars on each sill.... use the middle one, it lifts the whole side of the car, and put the axle stands under the other 2!

[Steveycaz]

silly question I'm sure - but the jacking points have bars across them, my axle stands and trolley jack do not... what do I do?

You need axle stands that have relatively flat tops. The bars under the car need to take the weight.

If i recall correctly,when i put mine on axle stands,i used a small piece of softwood on the top of the axle stand so that the bar you are referring to beds into the wood.
HTH,

On most trolley jacks one can remove the crown bit and leaves you with a flat surface that one can use for the sill bars. I have some cut sleepers that I use for that.
