Has anyone ever tried installing this:

in a stock GT3?

Looks awesome

are they even compatible. Ask a GA team

I have no clue

I even wonder how this is installed. Does it require welding or drilling holes in the chassis to fix these things?

look at the cup PET you'll see how they are installed. It would be cool...

Weld drill custom housing. And route air lines. Istanbul only need three jacks. Look at cup cars. Airjax is another brand.

^ Yes OEM is one front two rear and operating pressure of 20-30 bars!..

Four jack system is a joke and only used by neophytes.

Three jack systems are the only correct set-up to aviod the inevitable "four peg wobble" on 99% of all surfaces

Rarely are any track surfaces level enough to accept four pegs.

Think of any table, chair or bar stool to understand the princple.

Three pegs awill always be less susceptible to wobble than four.

I'd say four jack points is important for very heavy cars and for cars that just don't have the option of a single point away from the engine (such as having a transaxle front-rear configuration or a big gas tank or just no subframe to take the single point load.)

I've not heard of this brand Genesis -- but that's not saying much -- and the struts are only 1061lb each, so three wouldn't be rated to hold a 997 GT3 RS with the driver on board. I think the Airjax Moot mentioned are more interesting -- higher ratings (1443lb at 300psi) and made in the USA. As noted, whatever the GA teams put in the Carrera's would be at least a known quantity and likely the way to go. Just put the wand connection in the front grill and have a plastic cover to keep it clean.

Much as I'd love to have the jacks (and yes, it's futile to wish the factory would ever even agree to cut and weld using their jigs for the Cup tubs) I just can't see myself carving up a street car unless I'm 100% gone head-first down the slippery slope and keeping the car indefinitely. Seems like that's what Moot's done with his GT3 track car, so I'm pretty sure he's already got someone handy with a Tig torch on the job. : )

with the amount of time i jack my car up and down for pads, bleed and tire changes... i REALLY want airjacks. but i think when said and done you are looking at 4-5000. parts, labor, welding, plumbing and repaint the area welded....

of course now that i destroyed my left rotator cuff, i can use that as an excuse that i NEED air jacks. then wife probably say it's cheaper just to give up tracking....

mountain bike fall?

mooty

^ no idea. just suddenly last week, it started to make NOISE when i move the arm.
then anyway i move it, it hurts.
xray and MRI shows giant inflammation and stuff torn... oh well....

Carrera GT

Out of warranty?

Mooty wouldn't fall off a bike
I would say probably a remnant of that old street fight he mentioned in a thread : )

I had airjaxs installed in my 993. Very handy. DeMan Motorsports in Nyack NY will install them in my GT3 in December.
