k's is always based on the engine, unless otherwise specified.

Odd, everything I've read says km's are based on the chassis. (You can change the engine, doesn't mean diddly to the km the car has travelled).

most of the ads i have seen state k's, then they state how many k's the chassis has done if its had a replacement engine. lets face it, 90% of cars for sale right now have the original engine, so it could really be quoting either engine or chassis.

the kms traveled counts how much the whole car has traveled, indicating wear to bushes, suspension components etc etc. Engine is classified in the same thing unless its been changed.

At this point you see ads that say car traveled 120,000kms on the clock (meaning the chaissis etc) and engine 60,000kms (self explanatory).

i might be able to help you with a loan from comm bank if you want...

Savings and Loans are great... they got me the loan when Bank SA refused me and said I can only take out $13k even though I was on a higher than required wage.

Went to Savings and Loans and they had no idea why Bank SA refused me. Oh well.

Ok next question is, the car I'll be getting might have high kms just because it's cheaper, once here I was thinking on having it eng rebuilt (rb26tt). So any good palce and how much dose it cost?

lol

i never tried at banksa cos even tho im a member, i didnt like their terms

called S&L when i wanted to buy the gtr, had to provide proof of employment + salary, pass credit check as well as provide details of the vin number and engine number (as its a secured loan) but had absolutely no problem in spite of having 10k worth of credit cards (at the time - thank fk i dont have that much debt now)

i also took out the income insurance premium when i took the loan out (which is currently in the 3rd year of a 5 yr contract) and it has helped me when I was between jobs earlier this year - the cover ended up paying for 8 weeks worth of repayments (which equated to $1.3k) and you can claim the unemployment cover once every financial year, incase you get screwed over - and it costs bugger all to begin with, something like $100... well worth it imho

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
