depends on the store, but ull find a lot use platform lifts, u drive over them (ramps), and the square platform between the wheels raises in the middle of the car onto the rails, they usually just put little blocks of rubber under ur chassis rails.

If its on a two post hoist they will jack the car up at put the arms underneath it like that.

Used to work at Sinergy Motorsports and every 2nd car I'd have to jack it up to fit it on the hoist, what a fcvking nightmare!!

why not just drive onto planks of wood or something? lol

Coz if its really low you will need to drive it onto pieces of wood to even get the jack under there, thats what we do anyway. you can only raise a car by driving onto a plank of wood so much. Or if its not to bad you just get someone to give you a guard lift while you put the hoist arms under

how low are ur hoists arms? mine fit under before a jack does. unless the rails are 2cm off the ground, a plank of wood thats like 6cm is usually plenty to lift the car up to get it on.

this just needed a bit of wood about 3cm thick to get the arms under easily:

its not that low wheels arent bad look alright i spose

Its just a normal Molnar 2 posta. yeah but that doesn't look like it has a low kit on it. its not really the arms that give the trouble its the pads even when wound all the way down still add 2-3cm to the height, then once they are under the car you have to wind them back up so the kit doesn't get crushed on the arms. im not saying driving onto wood doesn't work some/most of the time but Ive had the odd car or 2 come through that is just ridiculous

The hoist we got has a clear floor. You drive the car up on to a couple of blocks then wind the rubber pads all the way up.

If you want Adam you can come put the car on my brothers hoist, take the wheels off and go get some rubber put on them.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
