Shop is in Smithfield. It is good, however the pin that holds the top handle in place fell to pieces and I haven't had time to replace it.

The foot pump seems to be good, however I really need to go over it and make sure everything is tight.

I'm going to use this jack at the track (even though it weighs 50kg) because the reach and height allows me to easily change tyres without having to drive onto blocks to get jack access.

hmm.. maybe this jacks a little to hardcore for what i need.

I just need a safe reliable jack, with added support of jack stands that will alow me to work on my car.

What would you recommend?

I'm a massive fan of Kincrome Tools and they have just released a Workshop range so I would check them out, although it really depends on what your budget is and what you want to use it for. Alloy is great as it is light however not always the best for heavier cars.

Your main concern should be the reach and the clearance.

This one looks like a match for you, http://www.tradetoolsdirect.com/Catalogue/...?CategoryID=257, I personally went for a ~$300 ~21kg aluminium jack, not quite super low profile but lowish (3.25inches approx), just not long enough.

looking for a jack as well was looking at spending at around 200-250

what do people recommend?

was goin to look at the autobarn aluminium racing one but it doesnt have long reach?

would this be good enough for just changing rims at the track and oil changes?

would prefer not to buy off a website, as freight cost will be through the roof... That CP jack looks awesome.

Anyone know if anywhere in Sydney sell those CP jacks?

I'm also in the market for a jack.

Went through the whole thread..

saw this one a few times https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Products?...Code=J041#specs

did any1 here who mentioned it, end up getting these? any comments on it?

Also going to look at the GASWELD one..

I only need it for home use so weight won't really matter, needs to be decent low profile.. nothing over 10cm.

and not looking to spend too much above $300 - $350, since i won't be using it often.

However as every1 else, would much rather pay more for quality, than go cheapo n replace within a few uses.

I've got the Bluepoint super low floor jack like the one pictured above...

Definitely a great jack, abeit fkn heavy!

Only dissapointing feature is the reach not being longer... I need one of these to reach my cross member on the 180sx :D

Although having said that... Still can't do much about it as my car is pretty low. I don't think any other jack would do a better job than the Bluepoint one. Reaches the diff no dramas...

My Bluepoint jack + Astro Products ramps = Win ;) No ghetto spec wooden blocks for me lol

PSI Part (Shane): Can you still get those rubber pads for the jacking points still pictured in one of the previous pages? The Bluepoint jack doesn't come with one so I went to Clark Rubber to made one. It's effective, but would much rather the proper stuff as per the one you posted previously...

Cheers,

Andy

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
