BTW, I've ordered one of the Gasweld ones @ $215 ( post-2420-1213223546_thumb.jpg ) so I'll give some feedback when I get it and try it out.

Won't be able to give feedback for a while since Gasweld are out of these jacks. Won't have any in stock until late August :(

I went and checked out that jack on sat, the saddle height is fine BUT the rear of the jack(143mm) is where u will have trouble esp if u want to reach under the front cross member.

I need i trolley jack that is under 125mm at its highest point.

I suggest we keep looking :domokun:

Hmmm, I was looking at this Omega jack was well on http://www.tradetools.com.au/Catalogue/Pro...tCode=GJLUQ1500 GJLUQ1500 jack, 63mm at lowest point but it's not super long.

Its cheaper than anything else I've found so far ($275 + postage to Vic) and the car is approx 13cm off the ground on the side skirts, do you think this could get to the cross member?

Or, is there anything better under $400?

UPDATE: Also found the "J041", from https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Products?stockCode=J041# , its $229 incl GST, only 90mm off the ground but looks like its long 84cm and 51kg, they make a racing version https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Products?stockCode=J042 but its shorter...

Note: I do know this thread is ancient but it still seems relevant.

Good Jack: https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Products?stockCode=J041 It's actually a tradequip jack. Double pump too

not "super low" profile or light so best for the workshop (it's bigger than it looks)

The SPI never made it to production if anyone bothered to contact the Oz Dist.

I would also be dubious about supercheap Ally jacks as they've had so many recalls.................

Also a true ally "racing" jack will only be rated to about 900kg.

I found if the car was just a smidge too low for the jack, i'd just drive onto a peice of wood or wide paving brick under each wheel and that would gain enough height to get the jack under.

True, thanks for the info. Yes avoiding the supercheap auto jacks for now, I'm trying to buy quality.

Its for personal use, not a workshop, I only visit the track every 6months if I have the $$$ so I'm not too worried about weight (at the moment).

The second jack I mentioned can only support 1000kg, its 19.5kg and a little shorter than the first jack, its 74cm vs the 85cm.

As long as I can jack the car up and the jack will last a long time I'm happy :P

Also the price is very reasonable for both of them...

I don't agree at all, just look at the profile. It raises very quickly. Unless they have another?

Anthony which product name did you buy? I've looked online and the "low" jack for Bluepoint is the cheap one posted above, but its priced at $500 or something crazy.

Did you pay more $$$ for a super low version or something?

part number is SNX1LLTJ

cost me $550

Interesting, had a quick look on the website and found it as ~$540 as you mentioned and supporting 1 tonne but that was it, no more info.

This old post, which does appear to the be the pictures of snap-on jacks we had earlier claim its most likely a re-branded Torin jack:

http://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/688353

Probably this one:

http://www.torinjacks.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductId=10

In the end I bought:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1-5-TON-ALUMINIUM-R...%3A1|240%3A1318

Which appears to be the Torin 2 tonne low profile jack:

http://www.torinjacks.com/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=17

Its not super low or super long, but its good enough, and its $330 with dual pump / dual piston design so I'm happy.

If you do search on ebay use the part number, and ensure you tick the "search description" button, the seller seems to list one every couple of weeks....

Probably not the ultimate jack but its reasonably priced and is ~82mm off the ground with some length (>70cm's :banana:). And its 23kg so fairly lightweight.

Thanks,

Gareth

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
