just dont rush into something without reading the fine lines.. there are alot of places out there that have stupid charges. try and get a loan that doesnt penalise you for lump sum payments and early loan payouts if u plan on selling your current car and paying off a large amount of the loan.

hmm this has kinda made my day

applied through NAB and Westpac and both are willing to loan me the entire $37,000. NAB even said to me that if it wasnt enough they can lend me more. Im gonna go through NAB with the personal loan but if it falls through ill have westpac there too

laterz to commbank, they are missing out on my interest :D

Edited by TracidTrax

commbank are useless IMO anyway. Stuffed me around so much with calls, charges and cards. Walked in one day and told them to cancel everything there and then and write me a cheque for the balance of my accounts. Had a business account, credit card, savings accounts with them but they are hopeless.

Now with the ANZ and they are even open saturday mornings.

Ironic thing is Commbank offer the best mortgage for borrowing against the equity in your parents home. ANZ are in second but at the risk of going with the Commonwealth, we avoided that mortgage type altogether.

BTW Tracid, thats a lot of $$ plus the sale of your own car, what are you planning on getting at 19? :P

mate... you don't need a finance company, you need a financial adviser...

why?

to tell you that you shouldn't be oweing that much money at your age.

if you can't afford it, then you shouldn't be buying it

what happend if you blow an engine tomorrow?

can you afford replacement front end if you crash?

can you afford the appropriate insurance?

what do your parents think of this?

i know this is not what you want to hear, and you probably reply to me saying "get lost you tool", but seriously you need someone to sit down and have a long chat with you about finances...

saff cossie, ill be buying a '98 Supra TT

Warren, i understand where ur coming from though initially lots of people cant afford cars so they take out loans and now that my current supra has been payed off and ive saved up a little its time to upgrade

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
