I have just been accepted to uni and i have found my dream car. A MINI!!!

Ive been on a few bank sites to check out student loans but they wont give them out to first year students (rather dumb). Anyone know of any banks that do give out student loans to first year students. I have been studying part time for a year. Hopefully thats enough. I Really really really want this car!! Its awsome. My mini gtr ;)

Because i do practical one day a week at a primary school i need a car so there for i qualify for a student loan. I applied for a loan today at the national bank. Pretty sweet, low interest, dont have to pay it back untill i finish uni and then i have 3 years to do that. I find out friday the earliest.. so keep ur fingers crossed for me everyone.. may be joining u all in cruses speeding past u in my mini ;)

good luck with the loan kyles

just keep in mind, the interest rates on personal loans are pretty high

and if your not paying it off , for a while that interest on the entire amount

$5000 is compounding and growing every month, so when you finally do pay it off it will be more like 10000 your paying off ,

just try your best and pay it off as soon as possible, most banks dont do first year uni students for the main reason, that is most uni students if they do drop out of fail will be in the first year

i have my loan through the national unsecured personal loan , generally they are pretty good and the repayments over the term is usually fairly small , just pay it off asap

save yourself $5000

hmm , bugger, have you thought about getting one of your parents , or close friends going guarantor? or taking loan out on your behalf?

or better yet they could go co-loan'ees which is where 2 people are on the loan, that way if you default on the payments the other person is there to pay it for your, from the banks perspective thats a safer way , about all i can think of im afraid, whatever you do just dont go for one of those smaller loan companies , who can charge you interest of up to something like 30% youve seen them on tv , the little loan comp**** and others

can the dealer arrange finance for you?

Well i am going to ask my sister. She has a fair few assests worth alot of money, but its a bit strang asking.. its a big favour. My mother wouldnt give me 5c atm... But right now i have more money than she does.. so that idear wont work.. but thanks anyways.

Im going to wait to see where i get my prac placement, i may be lucky and get one close to home and on a pt route. If i need a car to get to prac then ill ask some favours.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
