pretty cool idea, definitely saves tire changing time...

[sideways_s14]

/ GP SPORTS (http://www.gpsports.co.jp/quicklifter/index.html)

don't know if it's been posted yet, but this actually looks like a relevant exterior add-on...

[duffman1278]

That is pretty neat, why didn't I think of this, I used to just jack up my integra from the middle since it had a tow hook in the center.

[Witness]

Awesome! does it bolt up to the bumper like those Honda guys do with tow hooks? (Not trying to offend any one just seen it on a couple in town and i lolz)


Looks pretty useful though, i wonder how much it would cost to get one.

[2_slow_40]

yea, thats a cool idea, it makes it a lot easier to jack it up in the rear, especially for all you super low guys.

[sideways_s14]

/ GP SPORTS (http://www.gpsports.co.jp/quicklifter/quicklifter_flow.html)

yea, from what it looks like, you have to drill a few holes to the underside... looks like it's priced around $140 for that whole set-up...

[garagelu]

Wow, this is such a great idea. I really can't believe no one has thought about this before. I hope they get sold stateside soon. I would definately buy one. Its such a pain to jack on the diff.

I'm sure it wont be too long before people start copying this and selling it.

[kalypso123]

wow... thank you

[FaLKoN240]

I'll buy one for my car and all the cars I get after.

I never thought of this.

NRG or someone should get on it!

[ninja_star]

YEAA these come stock!!!

...thats pretty neat a friend of mine had told me about this but i wanst to sure about it but mos def will make changing the rear tires a whole lot easier !!

I'd only pay like..40 bucks lol

[driftsilvias13]

Yea especially with a kit. I think I've seen this posted here before somewhere...

[Slammed Assassin]

damn i never thought of this.. i want one!!

[Brian W.]

i did this on my S13, but i just welded a plate and then some rollcage tubing to the rear bumper support. It was quick and made jacking the car up pretty easy without ramming the gastank with a jack trying to reach the diff.

[zenki.life]

[S13Boosts]

How the fuck do they alwas come up with shit like this? LOL

[hpipro4]

this is baller!!!

[PhilipJdm]

i would buy this, because i love to buy nick nack things but my car isnt really low, just a little =D but if it was really low, well enough for those low car jacks not to fit then ill get this

[JeremyR]

i just jack mine up from the rear bumper support, which is where im sure this bolts onto. works just the same.

[SexPanda]

Well hot damn...

I guess I don't need that hitch for my wrx afterall. Fuck what am I saying, Im white and I live in Missouri, of course I need a hitch.

[driftking561]

to say time I usually just jack my car up from the diff, but i guess this is more practical. i kinda want one 2

[roboticnissan]

wow sounds good to me

[ixfxi]

YEAA these come stock!!!

the differential

no shit, i completely agree.

a bunch of fuckin bandwagoners loving it because its jay-dee-em


fucking thing is pointless, lowered or not. if your diff is 3" off the ground you really need to have your head examined. that, or buy a better fucking jack you pussies

[ixfxi]

http://www.gpsports.co.jp/quicklifter/images/quicklifter_06.jpg

look at the pic of the diff, looks accessible to me. furthermore, i love how the first thing people ask for is NRG or some states-side company to knock off their product. how about just buying this, instead of being knockoff supporters?

god...... some of you guys suck some serious testicallage

[FaLKoN240]

Buying that for $140 + shipping from Japan and all that other bullshit because it's AUTHENTIC JDM is stupid, just like you said.

You can make something like that for about $20 in materials and hand the dude that does the welding a cheeseburger or something.

Not everyone has their car set up for OPTIMAL handling and has it where the diff is accessible even with a low ass aluminum "racing" jack.

I'm sorry Mike but I'm not gonna agree with you.

[FusionR240sx]

lower your car,

come back,

apologize for being stupid.


i'll take you up on that..
i can still jack my car up from the diff.

what are u on 14" wheels?

[FaLKoN240]

My diff is lowered for axle geometry.

[YoungGun]

Are you guys kidding?

Sure the diff might be high enough to get a jack under (mine isn't) but aero gets in the way too.

Stock body cars probably don't have this issue.

[kensreliableb18b]

Are you guys kidding?

f'real.

this product is for slammed cars with aero, not a stock 4x4 status cars.

people who have neither of the above would not understand.

[S14_Kouki]

I still think it would be cool to have air jacks but I dont know how much overall weight that would add.

[driftsilvias13]

Yea especially with a kit. I think I've seen this posted here before somewhere...

That's what I said. When your car is slammed and kitted, even with a low profile jack it still hits the rear bumper.

[FaLKoN240]

I still think it would be cool to have air jacks but I dont know how much overall weight that would add.

I don't think the issue with air jacks is weight.

It's the green. $$$

i have aero.

[FusionR240sx]

or u could simply drive up onto some 2x4's or something to get the car off the ground some more..............

[kensreliableb18b]

i have aero.

hey smart guy, this is a luxury item vs. a necessity. gpsports isnt reinventing the wheel here.

[TUnity2]

i think most of you are missing the usefulness. Yes, you could drive on 2x4s or yes you could possibly get a alum racing jack under the diff, BUT it would be way easier to jack it up from right in the back instead of the dif. you wouldnt have to lay on the ground to aim it or anything.

[azndoc]

Or just fucking drive onto some 2x4s and save yourself some money.

done

class dismissed.

most of the people on here don't even drift enough to care about saving time to change out wheels.

so why does that matter?

[GSXRJJordan]

With my recent trunk area mods, i think I will make something like this. My jack is a low pro, and fits under the diff, but the rear aero makes it so you have no travel in the jack handle.

Lols at Falkon vs Mike though, the classic argument.

[babowc]

just use your goddamn rear tow hook.
$140 for this? I never knew 240sx owners had money to blow.. I thought they were all poor..

[GSXRJJordan]

just use your goddamn rear tow hook.
$140 for this? I never knew 240sx owners had money to blow.. I thought they were all poor..

I don't know about you, but my rear aero covers the tow hook.

Plus that tow hook weighs like 10lbs. I couldn't believe how heavy it was when I pulled it out.

[Ktown_drifter]

Car is kitted and jammed.. sure I can get my car up onto 2x4s and then get a jack under my diff but the handle moves half an inch .. takes awhile till i can actually get any jacking done.. this would be sick.. Going to fab something like this up for my car car fo sho

[singlecamslam]

How much time would this really save? Some 2x4 and old brake rotors and you're done.

quoted for truth.

[irax]

[irax]

I just don't think this would work out with ultra low cars like mattycakes,

they have jacks built into the car liek that fc..

[Ktown_drifter]

get out of car go find your 2 x 4s..or go ask around to barrow someones cuz you forgot yours at home, put them behind tires get back in car ,start it if you turned it off .. drive it forward pull on ebake, get back outta car, get jack, roll under diff jack using slow strokes cuz you rear areo is in the way till its high enough you can actually move the arm enough to jack at a dec speed

vs

get outta car, get jack.. place at rear jack point under rear bumper.. jack away

jeez

its almost like this place is turning into a miata forum "aww how dope, straight from japan! i have troubles getting my shit up in the air, maybe because i take estrogen pills. wah wah wah........ man up.

last thing ide do is add a bigass dong on the back of my car so it makes the car more accessible to being jacked up by me and/or random strangers

[irax]

I don't think you understand the idea mike.... having to lug around a huge and heavy jack like that takes up valuable space when going to a track event or even as part of the daily driving emergency tool kit. while there are other ways to achieve the same results the idea is to not have to lug around the huge jacks.

Americans for the most part don't mind getting dirty to do something they like
Japanese for the most part will do what it takes to stay clean

hey smart guy, this is a luxury item vs. a necessity. gpsports isnt reinventing the wheel here.

try carrying that shit to the track.

[BustedS13]

try carrying that shit to the track. you realize that the whole CAR has to get to the track also, right?

[irax]

you realize that the whole CAR has to get to the track also, right?

really? i usually leave my car the track and walk 200 miles to get there.

[BustedS13]

oh. well, in that case, i'd rather be carrying a scissor jack than a huge low-pro jack.

but, if i drove to the track, or perhaps loaded the car onto a trailer, i bet i could find somewhere to put a good jack, and then only have to move it a couple times to use it, once at the track.

call me a dreamer. food for thought

[FaLKoN240]

????? wouldn't you want to raise your diff for better axle geometry on lowered cars?

I don't have an S13, it's not the same. LOL.

I really don't see why you're so against this, as a product idea... I understand the JDM-i-sation of this idea means that it's 10x as expensive as it could be, etc, but as an idea I think it's great.

I actually was thinking about doing something similar (giving myself a more accessible jack point) before even seeing this thread... now, my only worry is that whatever I make will have to be moved/removed when I finish the undertray and diffuser. :angel:

[MisawaJason]

Saw this in Drift Tengoku about 2 months ago. Seems like it'll help especially on those wet track days

[ixfxi]

ok....... lets assume you buy this thing for the rear, what about the front? changing the front will still be a fucking bitch if you guys have all this crazy aero

so then get some low pro ramps... one of my nsx customers keeps those fuckers in his trunk in case he ever needs to get towed. simple as that, carry some ramps and then carry a low profile alum jack (thats what i have as well)...

shit works.

i dunno, this just seems complete unnecessary..... but carry on


edit: another thing, how high can that thing even lift the car? i mean, you should put stands on the car anyway... so seriously, the diff is the way to go. read an fsm people, fsm doesnt lie. DIFF.......... PERIOD.

[g-via]

Are you guys arguing about the GP Sports product or the Super Now one...

[mehsilvia]

I know, i know. some of you think its a retarded idea. Got it.

For those of you really interested in something like this, i have some cheaper suggestions. Based on my "hitch" install

As you see in the below pic, i had to drill through the spare tire well to bolt on my bumper-mount hitch.

http://i717.photobucket.com/albums/ww175/350sxVert/Trailer/IMG_2915.jpg

To reinforce the hitch, i also made some brackets and mounted them to the rear bumper support

http://i717.photobucket.com/albums/ww175/350sxVert/Trailer/IMG_3063.jpg

Shit wouuld work well as a jack point

http://i717.photobucket.com/albums/ww175/350sxVert/Trailer/IMG_2920.jpg





Now, for those of you that have NO use for a hitch, or real agressive aero, perhaps you could use the following item instead of the hitch assembly.

http://www.harborfreightusa.com/usa/itemdisplay/displayItem.do?itemid=93341

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/photos/93300-93399/93341.gif


I used one of these for a BBQ mount on my trailer.

http://i717.photobucket.com/albums/ww175/350sxVert/Trailer/Picture006.jpg
http://i717.photobucket.com/albums/ww175/350sxVert/Trailer/Picture005.jpg

I would recommend mounting it to both the bumper support and spare-well, and have it angled forward so that is sits below the gas tank. That way it clears your aero.

Just a thought.


Im about to install the hitch onto my Vert. So ill take a look at the mounting points for the hitch, and maybe see how well that Spare Tire mount will work out. Prob sometime this weekend.

[DALAZ_68]

hmmm...jack up the car and balance it on a base about 4.5'' of a base and hope neither wind picks up and no one leans on my car, or have my car lift on a jack with a 2' base...i wonder which one sounds safer...

if u biggest argument is that ur car is too low for a lo pro jack, then raise ur shit up...

pieces of wood and the differential


fucking cut zipties and throw a jack under the differential

done.


fucking faboys talking about paying over 100 bucks to jack up there cars.
ZOMG Its so HARD.

FUCKING RIDICULOUS


if you don't know how to jack up your own car, then get the fuck out the kitchen.

[ixfxi]

I dunno.. another thing is I dont really think that part of the car is structurally safe and sound for jacking up the car. But what do I know.


edit: and if my car looked like the one above i'de fuckin slice my penis off

[FaLKoN240]

This is so overly Zilvia of you guys. It's ridiculous.

[HyperTek]

who cares, most of the zilvians wont even caugh up the dough for it anyways.

the "save time" idea is invalid, by the time your done winding up your scissor jacks, you would have been done already with 2x4 and harborfrieght aluminum race jack. =)
you guys wouldnt go to the track without tools and proper equipment would you?

[AngryPanda]

if your thinking about lifting from the bumper reinforcement I would be careful.
Any one that has done frame repair should know, most unibody car frame rails start to move at about 1800 pounds of pressure. The only place where a car should be lifted is in the center section lifting points and suspension loading points.

[DreamN]

I get the idea and I like it. It's simply for a quick tire change whether it be at the track or on the roadside. It's not meant to be jacked up high so it's as if you are expected to do some crazy work on your car with these supporting your car.

It's simply for ease and convenience in changing wheels. A lot of you are looking at it with a closed mind. It's a luxury item. It's not necessary. And best of all it seems to work (Though I am curious if it's safe to lift from that point). I'm sure you could easily install the item in the front as well.

I would figure Mike of all people would understand the point of the product. I mean hell, he sells products that are just brighter. No need as stock lights provide sufficient lighting for the majority of folks, but because there are people who like the luxury a brighter and good looking product it sells.

The downside is definitely the price. Completely overpriced (lol seem to have a lot in common with Mike's products). Though I'm sure a company will surely make a copy and sell it for cheaper, but I'd rather keep an eye on the DIY types as they will undoubtedly create something much cheaper that provide the same great function.

it's a hell of a lot easier than carrying my car to the track

[HyperTek]

so you guys gonna do a group buy or what? whos actually gonna order one now?

[DreamN]

Most likely no one. It's overpriced for what it is. I'd wait on the DIY types, as mention before, to bring out their take on this. Chris (mehsilvia) already has a good idea brewing in his head so it's just a matter of time before someone makes a thread about it.

[wafflez66]

How do you go about ordering it anyways? I have no use, but did not see a way to buy it.

[irax]

I don't have an S13, it's not the same. LOL.


so you drive a lifted truck or rally car? I don't see how lowering(IE creating more distance between the pumpkin and the frame) the diff would help in axle geometry on a lowered car regardless of what kind of car it is. Wouldn't that exaggerate the negative effect of lowering the car?

[SexPanda]

http://i717.photobucket.com/albums/ww175/350sxVert/Trailer/Picture005.jpg
I just want to say, that is a-fucking-mazing lol. Im def getting a trailer hitch for my scoobaru now.

[BustedS13]

this might make sense on, say, a front wheel drive car, where there is no rear diff to jack from.
but it DOES NOT MAKE SENSE to put a shitty jack point a foot in front of an existing jack point. i don't care who you are, you know it doesn't make sense. maybe you just want a name brand to throw around, maybe a free sticker. but this is 99% form over function.

The simple fact is that some cannot get a jack to reach the pumpkin, and then have enough room for the jack/arm to move.

My S13 isnt really that low, but my jack JUST barely fits, while the arm smacks the gas tank until i can get a few pumps in. And i dont have any aero to further complicate things.

This is going to be even more difficult for those with real crappy jacks - they will need to invest in a good low-profile jack OR perhaps something like this is an alternative.

Just sayin.



And for the others:

I (me personally) would have a use for something like this. So isnt THAT reason enough to support a discussion in this thread?

If you DONT have a need or use for this, then good for you.

Cant figure out why every asshole has to shit on something they dont have use for. And then take a firm stand and position that NO ONE ELSE could possibly.

[second_chanceS14]

Thank you, smartest shit i've read on this thread yet. and bigsyke is right, u can fuck up the diff cover if ur an idiot and not careful. As for ppl jocking it cause they want jdm shit, fuuuuck it they are the ones with the cash let them buy what they please, and for people who want knock off, fuuuck it too...let them save a buck and have something similar to what the baller ppl have. Some ppl think cause its fake it's crap, most of the times yes but once in a while u got custom made at home shit that is better and less expensive than name brand over priced shit thats like whatever quality.

[clark]

i feel like jacking it from the rear like that would put alot of torsional stress on the entire frame/chassis.

i'm just a guy with a lowered/stock bodied s13. i get down on one knee, slide the jack in there, ram the gas tank a little, and before i know it, she's up in the air!

[ixfxi]

you guys still talking about this?



you know it adds weight, right? :-) maybe it double functions as a brace..??


hartecorners.com

[mehsilvia]

Another idea.

Run a steal plate 5"wide x width of the frame rails.

Then mount this bad-boy to it! right in the center.

http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/photos/96400-96499/96406.gif

- Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices (http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?itemnumber=96406-1CWH&Submit=Go)

My S13 is apx 12" off the ground where this would mount up under/behind the bumper.

At full jack, that would raise me apx 12-16"

Would be cool to rig it so that you just slip on a power drill to a small rod sticking of your bumper or somethin.

[projectRDM]

You know they make 12V scissor jacks, right? One on each side, at the OE jack points, bingo. Car is raised. Takes what, 20 seconds each side? Plus you can carry one in place of the OE scissor jack, the other in the spare tire well. No taking up room, no big, bulky items to carry, no crying about having to use (gasp) your own muscles. Hell, buy four and raise all four corners.

Seriously, if you're at a track event and the extra 5 minutes required to jack the car up is an issue, what type of tracking are you doing? Maybe drifting is different (I wouldn't know, I'm not ghey) but autocross, grip, anything else you have a good 20-30 minutes between runs, and plenty of time before and after to change wheels. If you need to change shit that fast, rent a pit crew.

I be a little worried about it removing the empty space between your gas tank and the rear bumper structure.

Anything back there is just a rear ending away from a possible fire.

you guys still talking about this?

you know it adds weight, right? :-) maybe it double functions as a brace..??

LOL! :love: the reference.

Not on an S14/S15... fuel tank's above and in front of the differential. Additionally, I think that if S13s tended to ignite when rear-ended, we'd hear more about it... seeing as how everyone seems to have crashed an S13 at some point on this forum. Just sayin.

Forgot about the fuel tank being where it is in the S13.

I was going off a picture of the product that showed it between the tank and bumper reinforcement on some other car.

I used to make custom trailer hitches for Z cars and spent a lot of time making sure that I did not make the car a fire trap.

The rear section of the frame rails on S13s are heavily reinforced, They're made to withstand a good bit. That's why a lot of cars you see rearended have the quarter panels buckled instead of the bumper just caving in. It's to protect the tank.

[Slip&Sliden 240]

I made something like this for my car not to long ago. I notched the bumper support and then welded a scrap piece of C-channel to the bottom of it. Then some spare 1.5 dom tubeing and another piece of C-channel for "pad" for the jack to sit on. Kind of crude but it works for me, easier then taking of aero plus using ramps to get a jack under the car.

Seriously doubt it. Since a trailer has tremendous tongue weight, and all hitches designed for the 240 are simply attached to the rear-bumper support.

Even with a tow bar connected to the front of another S13, it would be too much stress pulling on the trailer hitch (again mounted to the bumper support).

If the trailer hitch could somehow be attached at the frame-rails, like all other trailer hitches, then maybe (still doubt it)


*edit* how freakin cool would it be to have the Daily Vert tow the Track Vert - lol

maybe someone should sell a trailer hitch that welds onto your diff

you know, since its like... the strongest part of the s13.

only way a 240 could tow a 240 would be if you use an RV towing system


like this one

http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/towing-braking-systems-2.jpg

keep all 4 wheels on the ground, and angle it to reduce tounge weight to a minimum

but still it would be kinda lame to do that. the only reason i looked into this system is it would be a cheaper alternative to a full trailer. but hope you don't fuck up your car other wise you will be SOL
