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.

    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
