even on a 20k loan @ about 11-12% the interest on a personal loan over about 3 years will be about $6k. Thats not too much when you average it out over that time into a weekly amount. And the difference between say 8% and 12% will only be a few $hundred in the end. Again, if the interest is too much then...

basically you'll struggle to get a "car" loan for an import

you wont be able to a get car loan for an imported car OR "non delivered" australian car because the insurer will use the car as backing if you defunct and they dont like to use imports because they feel it will be harder to sell and you wont get any parts cos it was sold in australia.

Also another major reason is that the car wont be in the red book which is what racv, banks etc look for to obtain car depreciation figures and car resale values (its basically where market value figures come from). Import cars dont get put in to the "red book" so a bank cant estimate its market value

Personal loan you will be limited to about 20k max unless you have shitloads of money in the bank and some good backing for it (good assests)

Most insurance companies now have The Red Book for Imports. It is widely available. I have had 29 cars mostley imports without a single hastle.

Hey d00d.

Most places wont give you a car loan, I had the same problem, but if you apply for a personal loan you should get one. With a personal loan it doesnt really matter what your using the money for. I went with HSBC I didnt have any probs.

They will lend for than 20K for a personal loan.

Hi,

I am after advice as to where to obtain a car loan to purchase an import. I have rung a few places but seem to either get knocked back or get hit with a massive interest rate does anyone know where to go?

Cheers

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
