I had a supercheap jack but the seals have all died and it doesn't have any pressure anymore. I want to buy a nice one that will happily lift a GTR, as in, you can actually get it under the car and it will happily jack the front or rear half. Any advice?

revolution racegear sell a nice racing jack... alloy, low and with a long handle... check it out.... also doesnt weigh a tonne because they expect people to take it to meets...

Where can i find a site that sells these jacks???

have a look on www.snapon.com and fing which 1 ur after then ring a local mechin up and ask if they can give u the contact number 4 local rep then give them a call 2 get an aussie price.

I spoke to a Snap-On dealer the other week about the low profile trolley jack and they are around the $500 mark.

The best one I have found is a 63mm low profile Omega Jack but due to it not passing ASNZ standards it cannot be shipped or sold here.

Omega jacks can be purchased from Repco and Bursons (which also have a massive discount for those with trade accounts :P).

If you guys are after Omega Jacks I MIGHT be able to source them at trade price and send them out.

See the attached images. The height comparison picture shows the omega jack (black one on the bottom) that I was looking into.

I will need to enquire about each individual one. Which one are you keen on?

Very keen for that black jack .

if u can get them at trade i WILL buy one :D

The black one is the jack that unfortunately you can't buy here. Just using it as a reference for other low profile jacks.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
