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:

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
