Hey guys, just wondering for a bit of advice.

Just got approved for a 20k secured loan threw my bank (westpac) but secured means i cant buy anything like skylines or silvias or what eva :S

Purchase or refinance a used car (excludes imported second hand motor vehicles which are not imported to Australia by the manufacturer. A valuation must be available through Redbook.com.au).

it says ^^ on westpac site.

so that means i cant buy anything imported? so... no skylines no 300zx's no silvias. all the cars i like :D

He means, what if you wanna buy a Skyline but and its already in AUS, already at a Australian Import Dealer... Will the bank give you the OK?

Instead of importing one in from Japan yourself.

Maybe this part of the first post will answer the question.

excludes imported second hand motor vehicles which are not imported to Australia by the manufacturer

Why not see if you can find an Australian delivered R32 GT-R? That would comply with the rules. You could get an Aussie S14 or S15 for that money, if you want a Silvia (I wouldn't spend $20K on an S13).

Your other option is to go Euro. I found a 2000 model 323Ci for $20K. It won't have the balls of a Japanese turbo, and its a slusho, but it'll have the right handling dynamics and be less of a cop magnet. If you do get a 3 Series, for god's sake get a 6 cylinder at least.

There are some Z3s going around for that price too, but those things handled like poo.

Why would you get a 20k loan for a car, when you dont know what kind of car you want? Wouldn't it have been easier to pick the car you want, then got the exact money that you needed for it and used a bank that would give you the money for the car that you wanted?

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
