Used Oil, Old Batteries Etc.. How To Dispose Of?


Recommended Posts

what does everyone do with their leftover oil and such? i've got about 4 bottles sitting in the garage that i need to get rid of but its not like i can pour it down the drain or shove it in the rubbish bin.

When i lived with my folks we used to do trips out to the rubbish tip and dump them there... but my cars not quite so rubbish tip friendly :)

Ok in general you can dispose of waste oil at any supercheap up here in qld, im guessing would be the same as for down south, for use batteries you may have to chase down a battery world or a battery re-core place to dispose of it that way, unless you can always just put them in the bin! Highly illegal i dont condone people to do it that way but its upto you

Hope that helps

Cheers

Thw Recycle plant at mt cotton and Browns plains will take both.

ahh sweet thanks fellas :rant:

I had evil thoughts about dumping it all in the bin but my conscience had the better of me :laugh:

haha the old lady in our complex complained about the tiny drop of oil i put on the pavers a while ago... would be funny if she found the contents of five full 5L bottles of used sump oil on her maticulously manicured garden, especially since i'm moving soon :P

but nah going to ring supercheap tomorrow see if they will take it, if not i'll just take it out to the browns plains recycle thingo.

Just one quick one with the browns plains dump. Its 20L maximum per day of oil they will take for nothing. Anything over that they charge you a per litre rate. But to get to the bit where you dump that off I think is only 2 speed bumps now, and its all asphalt. You'll be right.

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
