Need Jack/stands/ramps To Do Service

[Black Widow]

Hey guys,

Gotta do a service on the s13 (hopefully on the weekend) but i don't have a jack or stands or ramps or anything....

Can someone lend me some? There'd be a 6 pack in it for you.

I'm located in Kellyville

Cheers

Probably best to buy some, cause then you'll have them for the service after this one

will that affect how the oil drains tho? Or will it still be cool? mite just do that

I would reccomend finding or buying some proper stands and jack. having seen the number of people who die from putting the car on bricks, or up on a ramp, or up a gutter etc it's not worth the risk.

from a report on jack related deaths.

"There were 27 incidents identified where a vehicle killed a person who was working under it. Of these 27 persons killed, 20 were carrying out home duties (car repairs) and seven were regarded as being at work."

yeh,i always remember to throw a spare wheel under the jacked up car.

and when on the lawn,place a thick piece of wood under the jack so it don't sink into the ground.

Had a neighbour crushed to death because of a sinking jack.

I've almost killed myself with car stands so id never not use em

my head almost got crushed but my m8s fiancees excel. was using the stock jack and ground was a lil uneven. had my head under, heard a lil creaking sound, pulled my head out and watched the jack snap sideways and the car drop. not good! so make sure its even aswell.... i know its obvious but still...

Hey mate..

What do you have to service you can slide under the car for the oil and dont need to jack her up. Just get a 8L oil drain and yours set. put down some cardboard tho.

Filter you can do ontop, all the rest of the fluids your fine minus transfluids.

If you jack up a car on grass your an absolute idiot. I did a whole exhaust on a stock jack and a set of 9.5 rims just think before you work. Dont let people be hanging around. saying this i advise car stands or at least ramps

what are you doing mate, just an oil change?

you'll never get a s13 up car ramps so you'll need jack and stands. don't worry about it not being level 99% of the oil ill make it out OK.

ramp plus timber to drive up on. easy

Kellyville to my place ain't far. About 40mins. And you get to drive Hawkesbury Heights 2X

I have extra low ramps, stands and trolley jack.
