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

    • Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.
    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
