Will I get in trouble if I change oil on the street or car park?

If it is legal, can anyone recommend me where to buy a decent hydraulic jack? (Preferred north shore area)

Also is there place recycles used oil?

I called around shops and just an oil change cost more than $100(some even won't do unless I get full service).

I thought it might be worth just buying the jack and other stuff to do it myself.

Thanks.

yeh just do it your self.. and i wouldnt be so sure about doing it on the street.. any hard surface will do thats flat. chock the back wheels, undo the oil cap, jack up the car, place oil tray under car, undo bolt on the bottom of the sump and let it drain.. lower the car back down too if you want to get every last drop out.

should like take 30mins. and dont forget the filter.

depending on the oil you replace it with, and the quality of the filter you get, and if you buy an additive to run through the engine to get deposits out prior to draining it.. it can easly cost ya around 100.. but also it can be done for 50 if you use cheaper oil.

if you want to use your car for track, id go for the oil that is better.

anndd i think i just craped on again about stuff you proberly already know, lol

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
