    I was thinking about rigging something like this... would you mind sharing your wiring diagram?
    Merci!

    FYI. Mine are going on 7 years of age. One of the cylinder wasn't going all the way up.
    I opened them to replace the seals. QuickJack wouldn't sell a rebuild kit but only brand new cylinders !!
    Brought them to my local "hydraulic repair guys". They put a kit together for me and I was able to replace all the rubber seals, o-ring, etc,...
    I did both cylinders and I have a brand new system again!

    Home depot is coming up today @ $1470 for the BL-7000SLX bundle which I got for $1399 during black Friday.
    Quickjack webpage seems overprice since above combo (w coupon) is showing $1678

    On hd the 5000SLX combo is almost as good as the $1k back in the day Coscto deal. (if you value the blocks/wall hooks)

    What QJ model do I need to get, the 5000 or 7000? I will be using on a F430 and Mondial 3.2 cab.

    Thanks.

    Just picked up the 7000SLX from Home Depot. Came with the wall hangers and truck/SUV kit as well. Box for the accessory pack was kinda jacked up....torn, re-taped, etc. Opened it up and one of the pedestal kits (round puck, extension, square puck) was missing. Pretty sure it is rolling around in the back of some Fed Ex truck somewhere. Anyway, called QJ and they said they don't have any of the individual parts available so they are sending out a complete accessory kit (all 12 pc) and I can keep all the extras.

    Looks like the handheld wired remote of the quickjack supplies 24v to a transformer. The transformer runs the motor in one of two directions using the 220v from the wall. So you instead splice into that cord and add a RF receiver to tell the 24v transformer the same thing.

    Using something such as: https://www.amazon.com/Solidremote-12V-Universal-2-Channel-Transmitters/dp/B01JGDV8UM

    Wire the 24v to the C (common on each of the two relays) then on the NO (normally open) you place 1 relay for up direction and relay 2 direction for down.

    NOTE: You would want a remote that already has a mode to set where both relays are not possible to activate at the same time.

    You can power the Rx receiver with a wall wart if you get a 12v ver. Looks in the example 24v tolerant Rx receiver is used and that ground is not included in the wired remote and you instead grab that from the other side of the up/down coils. Guessing you remove the wired up/down button setup and install the Rx box close to the quick jack motor.

    Yeah well, I made lemonade out of lemons. Externally it looks like a run-of-the-mill 430 (except for the Scud Ing DRLs and rear lighting upgrades and side makers). Internally however it's a much better car than Ferrari built originally. Fabspeed headers, Anti-Gravity battery, Michelin PS4 tires (I would have gotten the Super Sports but they don't come in the requisite sizes). Installing F1 system upgrades (F1 block with a heat shield from an '08, new accumulator, flushing and refilling with Liqui Moly) and draining the brake fluid and refilling with Motul. A replacement for the Becker radio that includes a backup camera, and the hidden KD-40 radar detector /laser detector/disruptor.

    This was a case of a dream crashing into reality. Ferrari has done an excellent job selling their brand. Not so much in correcting their mistakes.

    But, we continue to march.

    And the photos? I took all of them covering ALMS/IMSA and Le Mans. They were mounted in my initial flush of enthusiasm.

    Yes, I did make it better.

    And the C8 Z06 is off the list. Wait time too long. I decided on the 2022 Porsche GT3 in Shark Blue. They only require a $2,000 deposit and their "market adjustment" is only $10,000 so I'm looking at about $170,000 the way I configured it.

    But thanks for following, I love making friends in the 0.01% of Americans.

    There was a stunning blue GT3 at cars n coffee in San Jose this weekend. I wonder if that was "shark blue".....

    All the .01% were super nice at the event.

    If it was a 992, then I'm going to guess shark blue. Seems to me that most of them are shark blue, for whatever reason!!!

    Hi everyone, I recently bought a 7000ext quickjack as I need to be able to lift my Audi SQ7 for tyre swaps as well as usual works on my 360. I measured it all up prior and it does fit with about 4" to spare between the wheels, however my car is just a tad too low to fit the larger blocks in the trays and slide under. The lowe blocks don's seem to clear the tray enough to warrant their use.
    Just wondering if this is the same for those who have the 5000 and if so, do you jack the car up a little first to get the blocks under so the undertray can be removed? Is there a better method?

    Cheers

    I'm in the same boat with my F430 as it is lowered 20mm

    The front ones look close like the jack will hit the car, but do clear the car after making contact with the undercarriage

    The rears I put hockey picks on top of the small blocks (slide the jack with small Jacks under then add the puck)

    For clarification

    The rears I put hockey pucks on top of the small blocks (slide the jack with small blocks under, put the puck in the hole, pull the jack back under the puck)

    Bit of finagling, but once it's set, the Quickjacks work great!

    Thanks. As far as I'm aware, my car is standard height but the 7000EXT is 15mm taller than the 5000 version. My situation is just as you say, plenty of clearance at the rear and the tall block is about 10mm too tall, so a puck on the small block may very well work. But the rake of the car means the front clears the sill by about 5mm. Will need to check again to see whether that's enough to clear the small block at the front.
