My 32GTR is sitting on the YSJ3000 hoist in my shed at the moment

(the second link)

Not a bad bit of gear but not great either

There is a mob in Adelaide who actually make hoists and may be a better option

Pretty sure the others are all china made the YSJ3000 is fer sure

The slab thickness you bolt the hoist to is an issue as well

pretty sure they recommend a like 5 or 6 inch slab, most sheds are only 4 or so

Cheers for the comment. Ill see if I can find the mob your talking about in Adelaide.

5 year limited warranty on your hoist is nice, wonder how hard it is to claim and what it covers exactly.

2 pillar picks up from the 4 arms that you place under the car.

4 pillar, you drive onto and is lifted by the wheels. It then has a smaller jack in the middle that can be used to lift from the front cross member or the diff. I think most of the cheaper ones you can only jack front or rear at once. 4 pillar is more stable

Personally Id prefer the 2 pillar as it more of the way and easier to access most of the area under the vehicle.

Sorry cant remember the mob in adelaide that make these will try n look later

figure they may be a bit better for getting spares etc

Installed and wired mine myself didnt use the supplied bolts used 20mm chemsets

these are expensive to buy I didnt have to but since my slab wasnt the required thickness

I went for the overkill method, I spoke to a bloke there who claimed to have had patrols etc. up on his with a standard 4 inch slab without problems

they also sell an outrigger setup which I am using and would advise if installing on a standard slab

will take some pics in the morning of these

for the money they are a good thing I reckon

the so called instructions are useless chinenglish their installer even confirmed this I spoke to him several times and was really helpfull

and even answered his phone on weekends etc

so I would not say lack of support is an issue at all

biggest down point I have found so far is it doesnt seem possible to remove the rams to rebuild em

without alot of hassle may be worth questioning any u look at buying about this

as in the long run it will be a much better thing

in a home workshop situation I can not imagine this being a major hassle and maybe a large factor in their design

All in all I am pretty happy with mine and having your own hoist in your backyard shed makes the expense of buying a house worthwhile in my humble opinion

Once you actually HAVE a price for a Group Purchase - PM me.

Without a GB price, this thread has no purpose. You don't even know if they WILL offer a bulk price.

Please read the forum rules before starting threads.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
