Car too low for a hydraulic jack to fit under? Use these low down slopes to help raise up your vehicle.

These plastic car ramps are sold in sets of 2 and also work great for those low profile cars that you need just a small amount of lift to get a hydraulic jack under the body or ground effects kits.

These plastic ramps are the only solution for cars with expensive ground effects for getting a jack under the vehicle to lift it for an oil change or other undercarriage service. Whether you are working on you car in the garage or if you are a full blown auto service center, you will find these low cost plastic car ramps offer many uses for the automobile enthusiast or service center.

Made from recycled Takata race belts

edit: they can handle 800kg per side

and i think they are out of stock atm so best to give them a call

ONLY $140

do you have a low profile jack or just a normal one?

just a normal chunky one but have tried low profile ones and it still hits the skirts before making contact with the car.

lol cool russ. see ya today :)

I use fibreglass ones from a carvan place which look similar to the takada ones but without the price. Any caravan place usually has them and cost me around the $60 mark.

I was using wood planks but got sick of them sliding around on concrete when I tried to drive the car onto them.

I did the same thing!

+ cut notches 10mm deep + 20mm wide to hook onto my standard metal ramps to get up high.

bunnings

garden bedding 1m x 30cm x50mm $6

cut on 45* or more angle = proffit

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
