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.

Won't be able to give feedback for a while since Gasweld are out of these jacks. Won't have any in stock until late August :(

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 :domokun:

Hmmm, I was looking at this Omega jack was well on http://www.tradetools.com.au/Catalogue/Pro...tCode=GJLUQ1500 GJLUQ1500 jack, 63mm at lowest point but it's not super long.

Its cheaper than anything else I've found so far ($275 + postage to Vic) and the car is approx 13cm off the ground on the side skirts, do you think this could get to the cross member?

Or, is there anything better under $400?

UPDATE: Also found the "J041", from https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Products?stockCode=J041# , its $229 incl GST, only 90mm off the ground but looks like its long 84cm and 51kg, they make a racing version https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Products?stockCode=J042 but its shorter...

Note: I do know this thread is ancient but it still seems relevant.

Good Jack: https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Products?stockCode=J041 It's actually a tradequip jack. Double pump too

not "super low" profile or light so best for the workshop (it's bigger than it looks)

The SPI never made it to production if anyone bothered to contact the Oz Dist.

I would also be dubious about supercheap Ally jacks as they've had so many recalls.................

Also a true ally "racing" jack will only be rated to about 900kg.

I found if the car was just a smidge too low for the jack, i'd just drive onto a peice of wood or wide paving brick under each wheel and that would gain enough height to get the jack under.

True, thanks for the info. Yes avoiding the supercheap auto jacks for now, I'm trying to buy quality.

Its for personal use, not a workshop, I only visit the track every 6months if I have the $$$ so I'm not too worried about weight (at the moment).

The second jack I mentioned can only support 1000kg, its 19.5kg and a little shorter than the first jack, its 74cm vs the 85cm.

As long as I can jack the car up and the jack will last a long time I'm happy :P

Also the price is very reasonable for both of them...

I don't agree at all, just look at the profile. It raises very quickly. Unless they have another?

thats not the low profile one i just bought a new one two weeks ago

68mm at the front and its a long reach jack too

Anthony which product name did you buy? I've looked online and the "low" jack for Bluepoint is the cheap one posted above, but its priced at $500 or something crazy.

Did you pay more $$$ for a super low version or something?

  • 2 weeks later...
part number is SNX1LLTJ

cost me $550

Interesting, had a quick look on the website and found it as ~$540 as you mentioned and supporting 1 tonne but that was it, no more info.

This old post, which does appear to the be the pictures of snap-on jacks we had earlier claim its most likely a re-branded Torin jack:

http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/688353

Probably this one:

http://www.torinjacks.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductId=10

In the end I bought:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1-5-TON-ALUMINIUM-R...%3A1|240%3A1318

Which appears to be the Torin 2 tonne low profile jack:

http://www.torinjacks.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17

Its not super low or super long, but its good enough, and its $330 with dual pump / dual piston design so I'm happy.

If you do search on ebay use the part number, and ensure you tick the "search description" button, the seller seems to list one every couple of weeks....

Probably not the ultimate jack but its reasonably priced and is ~82mm off the ground with some length (>70cm's :banana:). And its 23kg so fairly lightweight.

Thanks,

Gareth

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
