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.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
