Anybody know if Snap-on or Blue Point still sell their low profile jack here??

There appears to be a close copy of it available. I'm getting pricing for it as below.

I got one from Repco [chinese copy probably] low profile and $280, works OK and since I'm not a business it will only be used by me so occasional use.

those ones are still low the difference with the snap on one is it stays low for much longer, whereas the other ones slope up pretty early so u cant push it as far under the car

I got one of these from Repco (also sold at Tradetools) for $279.

My R33 GTST is slightly lowered and it slides all the way under the front to the K-frame and jacks from there. Obviously there is not much clearance so you have to do small pumps at the beginning. The magic-lift system makes it quick to contact the car though.

My suspension is pretty much SK spec, with ~350mm centre to guard height front. I also have the extra factory lip at the front. The high point of the jack is 145mm high my car is about 160mm at the front lip and sides)

looks similar to the one I got from supa cheap or somewhere, weighs a freakn ton, I'd be looking for an aluminium one next time !!

I see even the snap-on one says it's 51kg !! friends got an ultra low ali one that wouldn't weigh more than 10-15kgs don't know where he got it from but said its like the one they use for the V8 supercars $$? so maybe look in the V8 supercars mag..?

haha, I personally don't care for the weight of the jack itself. The only hydro trolley jack I've had access to would have weighed about 50kg and it never bothered me....made it a little awkward to move it in some directions, but you pick up the technique quick.

Unless of course you can't store the thing on the ground, then I suppose you have a point :P

same as mine, works fine, so unless you've got a slammed car buy it cos it will do the job no problem.

I also have SK suspension. 345mm centres etc and it fits easily. Plus it lifts the car up high enough so that I can slide my ramps under the front wheels [front bar is too low to drive up onto them]. Then I jack the back up and use my jack stands, ends up being over half a metre off the ground and level. Easy to work under then.

Yeah, it's got a long ramp section so it lifts pretty damn high (500mm) which is more than enough for 3 tonne chassis stands and lots of room to play under. All I need now is a pinch rail adapter.

Made one by cutting off the end of a rubber mallet, then cut a deep slit into it to take the pinch rails. But when I used it the slit split further about half way to the base....so I'd say this is a bit risky.

The polyurethane makers should start making and selling them...hint hint !! Here's one from overseas.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
