Loans are the devil.

Try hit up a family member for a loan, work something out with them and sign some forms etc. Much cheaper, easier and hey atleast your giving like 5% (or whatever interest rate you guys work out) to a family member instead of throwing it at a bank which makes 2 billion dollars profit in 4 months.

I've had 2 recent loans with both National & St George. I found National are the quickest + at the time they were waiving the application fee. St George have been a bit slow lately with both approvals + processing.. i.e. you call the processing dept and wait like 15-20 mins. Probably check the interest rates though.

I got a $25k loan with my parents as a guarentour (sp?) so my repayments only have about 8.5% interest :(. The money is automatically transfered from my account to my parents either instantly or a day or so before the payment is made to the bank....

Good place to check out interest rates is www.infochoice.com.au

Usually have trouble getting a loan for an import for two reasons:

1) age (generally over the 3/5/8 year old maximum age for a car under loan purchase)

2) it's an import

You get a personal loan then spend it on whatever you want.

Car loans are like mortgages. They won't accept imports because they won't want to sell them.

Personal loans are not guaranteed, so attract a higher rate of interest but you get to do what you like with the cash.

If you can't sort out a cheap rate for yourself you should probably not sign anything yourself and ask your parents to help you... (assuming they know how to shop around)

I met with St. Goerge today, interest rate is about 11.5%

They do both fixed and variable loans, the fixed means that the rate won't change (duh) but if you pay the loan off early, you incurr additional fee's.

The variable allows the rate to fluctuate but it almost never does much either way.

The majority of loans done are on variable terms.

I'm meeting with CPS tomorrow as i think they are doing about an 8.5% variable.

I'm having to shop around, as being purely on commission i'm hard to finance.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
