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 bought the Blue point one about a year ago. but sourced it through Mercedes in Melbouorne.. couldnt find one elsewhere..

and thats because a mate is a mech there.. well was.

not sure if they still retail around here though/

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.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
