StokieShinobi Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Hi all I wanted to get my Z on the ramps but the ones I have are no use. I was looking at some like these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sports-car-long-l ... 286.c0.m14 They are a little on the pricey side and I am unsure if the Z will get up these even? Does anyone have any ramps they can recommend to me that the Z will drive up? Thanks all Quote
martinopy Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Envy had ones for sale a while ago, give them a shout. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 i use a set of plastic caravan levelling ramps to drive onto to be able to get the car jack under to jack it up to put on axle stands. i hate drive on ramps i always worry about going to far and jamming them under the sills Quote
mc Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 I've seen some that you can drive onto with them flat, then jack them up just like a trolley jack Can't remember where I saw them but they were quite pricey I think... Quote
From A to Zed Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 You could try something like this; http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FIAMMA-CARAVAN-WH ... 286.c0.m14 They're pretty cheap but probably up to the job "The caravanners favourite! Simple to use, sold as a pair and capable of taking up to 5 tonnes." Quote

Yes, you might well struggle with those. However, for a good trick at bargain £££... ...use bricks Pop into your local DIY store, find a few bricks of different thicknesses, I use about 10 per side - just make sure they are solid and not hollow! Then build your own ramps, when required Steve Quote

rtbiscuit Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 worked fine, lifts the front up nicely by 2-3 inches just get some one to hold them in place when you drive up them Quote
From A to Zed Posted September 30, 2009 Posted September 30, 2009 Nice one, thanks. I'm getting fed up of running over old bricks and bits of MDF to get my jack under the car! Quote
StokieShinobi Posted October 13, 2009 Author Posted October 13, 2009 I bought these in the end: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Sports-car-long-l ... 286.c0.m14 They are a little expensive but I will keep them forever so good investment. The 350Z drives straight onto them no bother at all - and they give a decent lift height to work under: Definately recommend these Quote
jerry3167 Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Those look awesome mine are ordered!! Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Those look awesome mine are ordered!! Why? You got someone coming round to work on your car? Havnt you got a sloping drive? probaly not a great idea to use them on there as you may have a problem!! If these are a bit high and you need a bit of a ramp, Adam does the racing risers from japan and I think someone in the uk was doing them too... Quote
jerry3167 Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Any work needed would be done on my drive, which is indeed on a slope Quote
