There are two places that I know of that list jack points, the Tire
Change section in the Owner's Manual and in the FSM.  Someone
(David?) was kind enough to include a page from the FSM here:

They don't *have* to be changed every time; just in case they're
damaged, they're easily replacable.  Overtorquing is the best way to
damage them, btw. :)

That's perfectly reasonable, assuming that the QR25 is still an
internal combustion engine with metal parts inside it.

I'm not sure if Nissan makes one, but it'd be good to know once
somebody finds out.  That filter's used on most of the '02 lineup,
from what I hear, so an H-D model may exist, or it may not.  Don't
trust your engine to anything other than a Nissan filter, by the way,
this is one of the few things I actually speak from experience on.
