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.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
