Hi Nathan,

So do you rate it and would recommend it to others?   I'm only really looking to use it for fluid changes, brakes and tire changes etc, so pretty basic stuff. 

Also which model do you have?

 

I've been looking at these also, the 5000 model which is enough to lift both my cars (GTR and Silvia).

However, for similar money you can get mid lift scissor lift that will go 1-1.5m, the issue being ground clearance for low cars and not being as portable. 

 

 

 

If there is any way to use  I hoist I'd go that way in an instant.  Quicklift is a lot of money for a quicker version of jack+stands. You'd need to be lifting a lot of cars to make it worthwhile I think

2 post hoists start at about 1500 for a second handy that would be fine for weekend use.

It serves it purpose for me. If I could have a 2 post hoist I would of. Much quicker and easier than jack stands.

I've only used it to change fluids and service my breaks so far, but prefer it to jack stands as it is more stable. Last time I used jacks stands was a few months ago when pulling the motor out of my brothers car. Getting it up onto them was a pain in the ass and that sold me on getting the Quickjack. You could get more height if you got the light truck adapter kit, but I think it is high enough for most things including pulling the gearbox out.

ive got a maxjax like below - full height with the bonnet up on the 33 is 2400

cant walk under it, but a stool with wheels is easy enough, 240v and uses threaded anchors not dynabolts to make it portable to some degree. atleast pack it away when not in use

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
