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.

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.

      @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html

      These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.

      The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.

      It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
