I've got the exact one :D.

Unfortunately I don't have a costco membership though, mate grabbed it for me.

@htial, I think $165 mentioned is normal price, so shouldn't change any time soon afaik...

I've got a membership... ...Well... ...Yuka does... ...But I don't know where my card is or if it's still valid... ...How long is the sale on for because I might get one for myself too...

Haha it's not a sale, it's just the price, I've been meaning to get one over the last 2 years just never gotten around to doing it, it started at $150! Although you have to be careful, apparently some ass goes in and buys pretty much all the stock and sells them on eBay for $240+ it's a bit hit and miss with the stock

EDIT: Let me know if your going PLEASE!

I've got a membership, and I've got the jack.. The jack is great, hasn't failed.. And they've got a 3 year warranty on em so if it ever f**ks up u don't need a receipt or the box, just bring the jack back and they replace or refund, no questions

That warranty only applies IF you keep your membership current for the whole time tho yeah?

I really should get one too... what should be 5 minute jobs on the car take me ages due to the old scissor jack!

Will they replace your car though lol

why would you not have stands when jacking up a car.. common sense to have stands and not to rely on a jack only..

not sure about that one. but yeh i think 5 pumps and its at full height, which is fkn HIGH!

i think its a pretty good jack, gf's dad has had one for about 2 years now with no issues at all.

and you also have wheels to take off after the cars jacked up...if the jack fails while you're lifting the car its only going to land on its wheels.. if you take the wheels off before using stands, then its your own fault.

and if you take the wheels off before lifting, i'd like to see a video.

not sure if I would be trusting a costco jack...

i've bought a few things there..quality is not their best point..cheap is..

Honestly I barely drive the car around anymore, I'm not jacking it up all that much these days I can justify buying a more expensive one, I'm just tired of my little POS. I have several Jack stands and service ramps so yea this is just a little cheap alternative which would be nice to have around. I'm not really looking for quality on this but a 7 page thread on JDM has prooved that this is good for just the once-in-awhile user. I ride my motorcycle more often now since summer is coming around and it's 100% fixed now (those that know me know I have been in a few....incidents....) :)

SCISSOR JACK? Hahah at least get an el cheap-o piston jack from scamco, crap-o-barn, or supershitauto. Although in saying that my friend has a modded scissor jack that works with his power drill....it's freaking awesome

    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
