Do you guys advise getting a 20k loan if its possible? My parents are pretty well off I guess and they know damn well I want a line so I was thinking maybe 10k bank 10k parents since no interest on parents loan.

If you can do that, then I'd go for it! Having half your loan interest free would be a HUGE bonus!

Your parents might have to go guarantor on the bank half also, if you have no proven savings record, or no credit rating...

Hey cheers 33Spec2,

Good to see a local. :P

I take it your very happy with your car. 40 Hours a week and 2 jobs, man thats some serious work, you deserve what you've got, I couldnt stand 20 hours a week at McDonalds!

So you think I should import? I guess I will have to look at all my options as soon as Ive put together enough money. Did you pay for all of it yourself?

Ive been constantly warned about insurance from my father and also on this site, though I expected it to be astronomical. Pity so many young people are getting themselves killed (like an old school mate of mine just south of Perth Friday night, you might have seen it on the news). Anyway, I hope I can join the 'skyline owners club' fairly soon.

OMG.

Look at all the n00b's wanting a skyline. Awesome!

For interests sake I'm 20, getting SECURED finance for a skyline is a pain in the ass, so here's my advice: Don't try, just get a savings history and you'll be right.

I've got a question for you's. Who here bought thier line with an unsecured personal loan ? and from what bank ?

After I finished school I went straight to uni full time. I had never worked until I was 19, but in the 3 years after getting my first job, I saved up $40,000.

To do it:

Worked 20+ hours per week during uni

Worked 40+ hours per week every holidats

Lived at home

Didn't waste money on alcohol/smoking

Then just after I finished uni, but before I started full time work, I borrowed another $40,000 and bought my car. (Didn't want to liquidate my investments). Currently paying $400 per week.

HAhaha...

When I bought my car the guy wouldn't accept a check unless it was a bank cheque (being a credit union my bank couldn't do that) so I had to pay $40,000+ in cash... :P

So much the federal police were checking up on why I was withdrawing that much from the bank and I cleaned out all the cash that that branch had for the day! :)

400+ $100 bills!

Yeh id take a photo, then one of my line and compare. :P

The other day I was carrying $3000 and I felt like every old granny that waslked past was gonna mug me. Never been so paranoid in my life. But $40000!!

And a5h, $25000 ..!

man ... get an escort or something. :)

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
