I will be at Willow Springs with Speedventures on 11/1, takes me about 2 hrs also. If you're not familiar I can show you around the track, there are run groups from beginner to advanced. The beautifully repaved Streets of Willow (smaller track, focuses on handling with many turns) is great to loop around. Big Willow has not been remodeled yet, it's the faster open track. Hope to see you someday or soon at the track.

FYI my Z also just passed break-in, 1100 miles, now can rev it freely to redline, been varying engine speeds during break-in up to 4.5K rpm, one oil change at 600 miles done. Enjoy yours, open it up!

I purchased these from Amazon. Quit a bit cheaper and they seem to work well. I then used a jack for a little more height.

Would this be high enough to do oil change without using a jack?

Its a pretty tight squeeze. The plastic under cover is difficult to fold down with these ramps. I bought them to avoid scraping the front bumper. The standard rhino plastic ramps sold at Harbor Freight/ Autozone are just a little steep but eventually get the car to a workable height. I have used 2x4's to raise the bumper on the rhinos. These would not be a good stand alone lift for oil changes. I like them because they do not scrape the car and allow me to lift the car higher with a jack and jack stands. I am considering getting some of the all-in-one jack stands with a hydraulic jack to use with the pinch welds. It's a work in progress.

raceramps are. Buy once cry once.

Anyone with a Nismo know what ramps work? I've bought two ramps, one was too steep, and the other was too shallow for me to fit under the car. Ramps would save me a lot of time on oil changes.

I have these and they are well worth it, high quality and just drive right up on it.

Did you get lift height of 8" or 10". I'm wondering if the 8" will provide enough room for oil change.

Is the lift height 8" or 10"?
Thanks

Thanks for offering to help. I'll try to make it.
I pushed it today and it felt great.
Thanks again.

My Z is stock performance height. If you are lower than stock use their tool to input your dimensions per their instructions and it will show you the ramps for your vehicle.

You can also get them in two piece units if storage space is tight.

Thanks. My Z is stock performance as well. I think I'll get yours hopefully 8" lift height will be enough for me to get underneath it.

I had something like that in my past life. Is it easy to drive up the ramp from your personal experience? I was just afraid it might go over the edge .

Yes they are 10” wide and the “stoppers” at the end are robust so you know when you are there. I always use a spotter when driving onto them as well to be safe.

I got the 8” and it’s plenty of room no issues. I’m 6’4” 250
