Just to let you know what my thoughts are. Since the omega one is not available, I'm going to be getting the Snap On (Blue Point) low profile Jack. These aren't cheap, coming in at around $500, but at least you know it's a keeper for life.

yep, this is the one i have wanted for a long time.

is that the trade price? and do they come with the axle stands that are in the pic you put up of the Blue Point jack?

Yes, as you can only buy with an account.

LOL @ blue point being for life

just cause its made by snap on doesnt mean its the best

we've sent so much shit back to snap on its getting beyond a joke

That wasn't a comment based on snap on tools (I'm a kincrome man for the record), it's based on three different workshops that use this particular jack and have had no dramas with it.

oi that omega one is aweosme, silver 34 and myself want that one! why can't u make a group buy on that?? and where can u get it from and ill buy it myself..

Not sure if you read some of my comments, but the low profile omega jack cannot be bought in Australia as it does not meet AS standards. I have tried numerous companies to try and get it shipped here but have yet to be successful.

thats crazy, so if we go and buy it in another country, and try to get them to post it to us, customs will stop it??? seems weird for personal use

benm, mate further to tokyo taxi be very wary of that jack. does it just have a single piston at the back? look like it does. it looks almost identical to one I bought a few years ago. it was great at first, 5 or 5 pumps to full height, light enough to carry, then one day part of the plate cracked off and shot out like a bullet where it disintegrated onto the wall narowly missing my head (and a mate), then one of the wheels broke (no big deal, happens some times), then the lift started to fck up. we took it apart and replaced a seal, all good. then it happened again, sometimes it would get stuck etc, basically it was just no good. the revised models have a stronger plate and twin pistons on the back. our one cost $300 too. so just be carefull with it.

actually scott would have seen spencer and I use it a few times on spencers car and even on a 800kg race alfa it used to fck out.

Looks identical to mine except its twin pump and has 2 front wheels instead of 1.

Yep, this is the one I'm talking about ( not the one Richard & Spencer were using which was a dangerous POS as Richard said ). This model you have benm is much better, but I've still seen failures in the castor wheel bearings.

edit:

BTW, I've ordered one of the Gasweld ones @ $215 ( post-2420-1213223546_thumb.jpg ) so I'll give some feedback when I get it and try it out.

Be good to hear how they are and if they are good quality. Would like one thats lower though as 100mm just isn't low enough for me unless i missed something and it is lower than that

    • 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.
