Which bank / organisation should I look at re: getting a bank loan for a new ute around the 25k mark? Any recommendations? I'm an existing westpac customer, but from my research it appears that Commonwealth Bank might have a better deal. Any thoughts, please put them here...

ANZ isn't too bad, they don't include interest on principal compared to Commonwealth.

ANZ approved my loan application twice when CBA didn't even though I used to be with CBA at the time.

Saw a red ZR1 Corvette on Eastlink...never seen one in the flesh and there must be less than 5 in Australia. Numberplates LS9ZR1 - LS9 being the supercharged 7 litre V8 they come with from factory...absolute porn and ridiculous road presence.

Tony will be able to elaborate cos he is an accountant however from my understanding if it's used for work you should lease it as you can deduct more a personal loan u can only claim the interest component don't quote me on it though I'm not an accountant, but the. Interest rate will be lower on a lease than a personal loan

Lease's and the benefits of salary sacrifice are usually done via an employer.

As you are self employed now you might have a problem obtaining a lease, but see how you go.

You won't be able to salary sacrifice but you will be able to claim MV costs in your ITR such as 'interest' expenses.

Peoples choice credit union, formerly savings and loans. Rate is sub 9 percent still I believe. Got loan on the r via s and l in 09 at a fixed rate of 7.2 percent but has gone up since then

they are faster than the gtr around nurburgring :O I think the 2012 GTR is meant to beat it tho

100 times better looking and just a six speed manual! Yer the 2012 GTR is pretty friggen quick...I wonder how it fares against the ACR Viper or if Chev will fire back with something faster?

Pretty sure everyone is below 9% atm well lease companies anyway

Tony gonna start charging us for the advice lol

Don't worry I got an excel spreadsheet running with a tab on your SAU VIC Wastelanders

Seen a Z06 once on our roads. Looked very baws.

I think a conversion of a Z06 costs a fair bit so can't imagine how much it would cost to bring a ZR1 down :/

That looks exactly like the one I saw, bar the numberplates. Might as well have bought that one and slapped the Vic plates on it. Photos don't do justice though.

thanx for sleuthing out that bit of highly secret information adam

Not everyone is familiar with the GM engine family, let alone one that only comes in a special edition of a certain model!

Compared to the cars you get here for new you could say its quite a bargain!

It'd turn many more heads!

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
