what's the better option

1. small personal loan (~$5k) for a car (through CBA)

2. refinance or whatever the correct term is, my home loan to get an extra $5k (if that's even possible). My current home loan interest rate is 5.97%

go

Wait a few months and save. Unless you're going to pay the loan of quickly there's no point in paying fees and interest. And if u can pay it off that quickly u may as well just save and not bother with the hassle.

It'll be a little hard to refi the mortgage for an extra 5k

Then I'd probably be applying for a credit card or increasing the limit if u currently have one. Just pay it off when u can and drop the limit. Personal loan will only be a few % cheaper if u can find a low rate card. Paying it off in a couple of months and your done

Will also take more than a week for some banks to get a loan where as a credit card limit increAse would be overnight in most cases

Got a 10k limit on my credit card... But think for cash advances the interest rate is stupid high...Don't know coz I've never used cash advance.

Might be an option considering most personal loans charge a fee if u pay it off within the first 12 months...

Hamish & Andy, insider opinion?

Yeh it will be a difference if you make a purchase of a car from a car yard as such. Then there is no cash advance as its a purchase.

There are heaps of yards that have cars for under 5k with onroads included

Lee cousin's mate is selling a blue r6 same as that one should be able to get it for ~8k maybe even less it's '07 but

Lemme know if you want details

Depends how many KMs on it, prefer 08 and newer due to revised engine but if the price is right.. what else can you tell me about it? bikepoint link ?

Is it that really that much of a hassle to refinance your home loan?

Say difference in interest rate is 6% for a personal loan, @ $5,000

It's only going to cost you about $25p/m

Yeh with justifying what the $5k is for since it most banks will want it to be for the house. Then valuations and all that shit, contract refi fees etc. PITA for just 5k..

Personal loan at 6%? Lol where?

Instead of a cash advance you could always send it to your paypal account then withdraw into your bank account.

Listening to RACV battery service guy talk crap to my mum about there being no difference between Lexus SC400 and Toyota Soarers and how they are both made by TRD...do correct or let ignorance slide?

Do u have redraw or offset account on ya mortgage you could tap? As said not worth refinancing for but then personal loan is higher rates and payout fees etc

Lovin the Audi so far and iphone5 oh how much better it is!

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
