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.

    • 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/
