Hi Guys,

Just wondering if any of you could suggest a reputable financier for the purchase of my R33 GT-R. I am in Queensland. The car is a 95' and having a bit of difficulty (not because of my financial circumstances but just the first hurdle of it being an import).

Any help much appreciated.

You will find most vehicle finance companies wont touch you due to the car being an import with no set "market" value that they can check.

You will more than likely need to go for a personal loan of some description

what blitz says.. anything above $20k has to be secured generally... Under $20k is the maximum of a personal loan, above that it has to be secured. Sometimes that can be the vehicle itself but it has to be under X years old (usually this varies), and they only want something aussie that can be auctioned off later and easy sale if you default.

If you bought a brand new HSV there would be no problems, even if it cost twice as much :D

predator: so true

and yes XLR8 what predator says is the truth unfortunately. as its a grey import you can't use it as security. Whereas if go buy a 80k HSV you can use that or vice versa and get a car loan for it instead

I got mine via NLC, who got it via macquarie. I had to put down a 30% deposit.

Its also a lease, not a loan against the car - i did it this way for tax reasons (novated lease)

Try Macquarie - www.macquarie.com.au

      Lets say I wanted to buy this, specifically for this purpose. How do I actually perform the function. Can I still buy a Consult-1? Am I about to be burned by the fact my car is a 2000 model Series 2 R34 and thus will be some stupid other system? Do I just need this -> https://obd2australia.com.au/product/nissan-consult-14-pin-to-usb-ddl-diagnostic-interface-with-ftdi-ft232r-chip/ And with what software?

      That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc.

      Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?

      Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...

      R34 auto to manual conversion help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
