I got a jack the other day and to get to the central lifting point at the front i had to drive my car on to bricks so i could use the handle , my car is about 140mm height at the front and the jack just fits under but once it is under u cant move the handle up and down the bricks just give u enuff clearance. It say that jack your looking at is 170mm high so u might have problems to jack up the front

Looks like a beauty i have to say , 3.5ton 10 pumps to full height u could work on trucks

that one looks quite good. i once bought an aluminium racing jack off ebay before and it was great...for about 3 days. it was a super low, quick lift - 7 pumps to full height and was awesome. BUT the plate was also made of aluminium and once whilst jacking up a car it just snapped and a piece went flying. had it hit anyone around it in the face there would have been some serious injury. since then we've had to rebuild it a couple of times, and it sometimes sticks, sometimes bleeds down basically it's ready for the bin.

this one looks much better though being twin pump and having a steel (i think) plate.

Ive use that type of jack at my local tyre centre. not sure about brand but the ones ive used are very sturdy, take stuff all effort to jack up, and i would trust my life getting under one of these! :) no not really. But seriously, they are quite strong. This is on ebay, are you planning to buy this off ebay? Mate, your gonna be paying alot for freight! They weigh heaps

Thanks for the replies guys

i've sent him off a query about what material the plate is made out of.

Yep, it's on ebay. The freight is only $15 on melb, as I'd say he just goes and delivers it. Or I could just go pick it up.

I'm a little worried I may end up in a similar situation Richard, but I guess it may just be a risk I have to take. I might try and arrange to go and see it first.

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
