Okay, So I recently got my car finance pre-approval for $20k or less.

I went to Japcar.com.au to get a car from there. However, my finance provider told me that I cannot get used cars that are imported from overseas (known as grey import)

Are all skylines imported? or are there skylines that were brand new and have been imported to Aussie? If so, what models?

Anyone know any finance companies that will finance grey imports?

I am in melbourne.

Cheers.

pig's arse you can't get a import under finance, just tell your finance provider that you're going to use someone else and they'll change their tune pretty quickly.

A car loan is good to give you a credit rating.. it shows the bank that you were able to get a loan and pay it back on the specified dates and can handle debt/repayments.. this helps in getting loans (such as a house) later on..

And call a bank.. Weren't there some R31's sold as ADM?

Commonwealth bank is being sad to me, said cos I am a NZ Citizen and have lived here for less than a year, they said there is a RISK I will RUN back to NZ hahaha.

But car finance companys seem more flexible some how.

@Funkymonkey, will try give that a go lol.

That cant be right i finance my car using the bank even though i only finance $5000 so i have spare money for insurance and repairs. But they didnt mind what type of car i was buying as long as they earn interest and fees out of it.

if you get a bank loan for a car it has to be a personal loan or the car has to be under 5 years old so no skyline for you.

when using finance companys be very careful, the reason they give out loans to anyone is cause its worth it for them with hirer interest rates and what not.

and some even make you buy very specific types of cars that r usually priced more then what theyre worth, for the love of god dont use motor finiance wizard

"car loans" through banks are generally just secured loan and there are usually many more requirements that you have to meet to get the loan. you also have to have full comp insurance on the car. this is because the car becomes the security of the loan, meaning if you don't pay they reposes the car, and it also means that if someone does a search on the car they will find that there is money owing to a finance company.

if you get a personal loan you can buy whatever car you like as you don't really have to tell the bank what you plan on buying with the money. these loans are a bit harder to get though.

if you have gone through some sort of semi-dodgy finance company (such as motor wizard finance) then they may be a bit more picky about what cars you can get (motor wizard finance will only let you buy from one of their car yards, and even though they are interest free you just pay a buttload more for the car to start with so it balances out). other finance companies that just do cars will often charge a higher interest that banks, this is why they aren't as picky about who they lend to.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
