Do a REVS check...that way you know for sure which finance company has a vested interest.

These are about $15 or so, and if you are getting a loan for the purchase or the car, your financial institution should perform this check as part of the loan process.

Hope this helps :O

Easy do a check to find out exactly what is owing on the car. Then when it comes time to buy you send the finance company a cheque for the amount owing first...they'll release full ownership to you and you pay the seller the remaining amount.

Cheers, he is getting the finance company to fax me a letter with how much is owing so ill give the owner a check for him & 1 for the finance company. Whats this release ownership thing? does the finance company send me something?

You might want him to put the agreement in writing (signed and dated) to say that within 7 days of sale of the vehicle he will pay the amount outstanding to his relevant financial institution... just to be safe!

you should make the cheque out to the financial institution and post it to them from his place, or take the money to them in person.

if you make the cheque out to the institution and he doesn't give it to them then it doesn't cost you anything. it just means you only paid whatever the amount was that you gave him on top of what he owed, then you can just send the institution a cheque to pay off the car so it doesn't get reposesed.

You might want him to put the agreement in writing (signed and dated) to say that within 7 days of sale of the vehicle he will pay the amount outstanding to his relevant financial institution... just to be safe!

This will make absolutely no difference. The car remains the sole property of the bank until the vehicle is paid out. The only safe way to get that legally sorted is for him to get a letter from the bank saying they have no interest in the vehicle any more. It is just called a letter of no further interest, and they will only give that if the car has been fully paid out, but they are just waiting on the last payment to clear. Banks are required to clear vehicles from REVS within 48 hours.

No matter what he says / writes / does, nothing is stopping the bank from coming and taking your car off you, and they WILL bring the police to do it if you don't just hand it over.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
