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 like how that Blue-Point jack has a rubber seat/mount - much better than just a steel cup imo.

how much $$$ we looking at?

Subscribing ! My jack is leaking and CBF fixing it.

This is the one I'm most sold on ATM from Gasweld @ $215.00 - 100mm at lowered position & 520mm raised.

Did a Google search and a lot of reading and there are SO many jacks out there that are being recalled cause they don't meet Australian Standard/New Zealand AS/NZS 2615:1995 and have had proven failures. Had a jack fail on me as a 2nd year apprentice and it scared the crap outta me !

For the price that's probably the best so far, I like the little lever at the back.

My neighbour has 1 from SuperCheap that was under $200 and despite it being a cheap brand and bloody heavy it does work well without issues.

You should never be working under a car without proper axle stands anyway.

100mm is not low profile in my books, not sure about others.

yeah, 100mm isn't low profile at all, my crossmember is about 11cm if not 10 off the ground....

this is a good comparison of jacks: http://www.vorshlag.com/tech_jacks4.php

i like the AC Hydraulics DK13HLQ - its got a ultra long reach low profile for crossmembers that sit so far back. http://www.vorshlag.com/tech/floorjacks/bmw_jack.jpg

or how about this jack - its soo cheap: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/disp...temnumber=91039

100% agree with never working under a car without stands. When the jack started to give way, I had 1 stand under the chassis rail and I was just going around the other side to put the second one under. Because the jack failed pretty quickly, the chassis rail and floor pan were damaged and I SHIT myself. Up side was that it was a RR Silver Spur :D and not my fault ;).

Anyway, I agree that 100mm aint that low. Would like something like post-2420-1211710747_thumb.jpg ( either one ) or post-2420-1211712292_thumb.jpg but it has be be "safe" ( and a reasonable price ). If this or any jack can't comply with basic safety standards, I'm not sure if I'd want to trust my car & life to it.

i have been looking into these jacks and cant find anything available like the Blupoint/snap-on jack (like jamie has) thats long and low profile.

keen on what happens here

I was at Jamie's workshop today and asked about the Snap-on low-profile jack, $450.

so he did get the price :down:

will need to go chat to him, well worth it really, 5-6 pumps to full height, low profile and he's had that for years and years and its still fine and used more than we ever will.

cheers Ben,

Thats the omega jack that PSi PARTS was talking about on the first page.

The one he said cant be sold here in australia as it doesnt meet our standards.

Just to avoid any confusion I might have started.

You cannot buy this jack (which I believe is the best one available) : http://www.tooltopia.com/index.asp?PageAct...mp;ProdID=11737

I can get these however: http://www.tradetools.com.au/ProdView.aspx...oduct=GJLUQ1500

Although I will need to check the trade price on these.

I went and checked out that jack on sat, the saddle height is fine BUT the rear of the jack(143mm) is where u will have trouble esp if u want to reach under the front cross member.

I need i trolley jack that is under 125mm at its highest point.

I suggest we keep looking :down:

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
