TAKADA LDS

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.

HAHA :D

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

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
