i want to know what kind of jack to get too.. i dont trust the stock jack.. how much do nice quality ones run for? I believe they can be purchased at sears or somethin?

Yep that other guy on the forum was ME. I got a flat on the freeway, jacked the back rear up and I dunno just maybe wasnt on smooth surface or somethin but yeah it fell over and the car with it. It didnt do any damage tho and still rode fine, so you may not need a new rotor. Just see how it feels before spending the cash.

Stock jack are crap, no matter the company brand. I had BMW jack almost fall on me and my brother around 5 years ago and from that day on, I don't trust them.

I can tell you that the hydraulic scissor jacks will not work well because of the low sill on the coupe.

for instance (excuse the crappy example for a jack, just referring to this type)

Hard to explain but the sleeve you use to pump the jack will hit the side when you try to lower it. In other words, you remove the handle and use it to unscrew the pressure relief. The handle base creeps up and will make contact (and scratch the hell out of the sill if you let it) as the car comes down. I was all excited to dump that OEM jack and use a nifty hydraulic jack. I came so close to taking a chunk out of the sill, but luckily I caught it in time. I had to hold the handle down and use something else to loosen the relief screw.

You shouldn't be under a car with only jacks...use proper jackstands and
jackstand adapters when needed.

imho, those scissors jacks are fine as long as you chock the wheels
and working on a level surface.

That sucks dude, please do update us on what the stealership says. I took out the jack after I took out the spare tire to lighten the car - now I'm glad I did!

I bought a nice, low profile aluminum 3 ton jack at Costco for $100.
Very good quality.

Were we supposed to get chocks in ours cars? Mine are missing if so.

I don't think so...then again I'm the second owner

No, car doesn't come with wheel chocks. And the thing is this... in emergency situations, how can you guarantee that you'll have a flat level surface where you can jack up your car without it moving an inch. This is a really old thread, but it still really irritates me reading this over again because of the poor quality jack they include stock. Something like this should be considered a safety issue and have higher standards.

Im sorry to hea that... it has happen to me also, but i had a kit on the car which ended up getting crushed also...
I dont mess w/ stock car jacks anymore.. I found one @ Walmart..lol... (didnt think it was going to work but it did) ... and it plugs into the cig. lighter.. it actualy works..lol.. I also carry around a bottle jack which is also cheap and small..

i had the same problem. luckily the tire was barely hanging on. so no damage. i think the jack is just really cheap, and not strong enough to hold up the g35, unless you have to jack your car under perfect conditions, no wind, absolutely level ground. how many roads are actually like that?
