breay Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Guys bit of a weird one, I was planning on removing my wheels 2day to give them a good old waxing ready for the winter weather, but when i tried to use the Nissan jack it was hitting on my Veilside skirts before it even came close to the jacking points! Its the first time ive tried to use the jack since having my kit fitted. I know you can buy super low jacks for very low cars but i thought id see if you guys could reccomend a good one? preferably a compact one that i could possibly squeeze in the boot seeing as the standard one is useless!! Cheers fellow Zed gods! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Easier to keep a piece of wood handy to drive onto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breay Posted October 9, 2008 Author Share Posted October 9, 2008 Oh yeah i hadnt thought of that! Although ive been thinking about getting a super low one for a while so if any one can reccomend one let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Clarkes racing jack. It has about 65 - 70mm clearance. Very low! I have it in anodised blue! Available from costco. No way you'd get it in the boot though so wood is handy for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z Boy Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 My car's got the V3 kit and a 30mm drop and even with one of those flat jacks I have to reverse onto some bits of wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stez Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 You can get a great racing jack from Costco for around £60-70 last time I looked. It was real good quality too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Stez, it's the clarkes one I mentioned. I have it in anodized blue. It's a top piece of kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
