My engine crane that i have at home is a Trade Quip TQ1001 purchased from Bursons about 18 months ago for about $400

We also use the same type at work (mechanics) and it has been going strong for about 3 years.

Due to its 3 sets of wheels, when folded it is still easy to move around and dosent take up too much room.

looks like the price has gone up a bit, but you can shop around to get it abit cheaper.

Try Alltools, Bursons, REPCO, Super Cheap, AutoBarn. Basicaly any tool or auto shop should be able to get one for you.

Cheers

the supercheap ones bend!

my brother use's one on 4 cyl's often but its a pain in the @$#% and the boom length is crap, to pull or fit the engine on my old vl turbo i had to remove the bumper just to get the length, yeh and i bent it pulling out a v8 so they are compact but your better off hiring.

what area are you in ? there is a guy in sommerville sell's top quality well built units, got mine for $340 and it has 6 wheels, with raisable legs, ive had it for a few years now and no prob's. gets used every month too :P

i live in melton but it looks like 350+ sounds like about what im gunna end up paying. I just found out my bro in law should be able to get 1 cheapish for me. Ive seen the ebay ones and they're going for around 300 but i just dont trust the welding on them, the last thing i want is for the engine to fall on the ground after its been hoisted. Its for a 253 V8 pulling out with more then likely a 350 chev getting put on it later, not sure on the weight of one of them but it would be heavier then 400kg im guessing, would a 1 ton be enough being when its fully stretched out that it wouldnt be a 1 ton capacity? I hope people know what i mean.

1 ton capacity could mean it could hold the engine there for along time when the arms arent stretched out but when fully extended its capacity could only be 500kg.

Also, would it be better for me to get 1 with a engine stand rather then have the hoist holding the engine for a few months?

This is the first time ive pulled an engine out of a car so if its works the way i want it to ill pull the rb25det out of mine and see what i can do with it.

i had my RB26 motor on the crane for 6 months

then i had to pump it up every couple of days

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
