I'm getting ripped on like 4.28% or something another 9 months of fixed left 


Once it's over you can generally talk to someone at the bank and they will generally give you a better rate to keep you as a customer if you say you are looking at moving your loan to one of their competitors as they have a better rate.
Talking about the rate; I have no idea when you obtained a loan.


Right now as a first home buyer owner occupied, ubank offer a 3.74% comparison rate loan. Loans.com.au aren't much different.

No reason you couldn't have gotten a better comparison rate than I am on?

Ubank and loans.com.au

They both still offer great rates?

Looking at them now - they do look to have the best comparison rates. No free lunch though - from a shallow look they seem to offer stripped down products and less overheads to achieve the rates. When I was talking to a couple of brokers about finance, for what I wanted to borrow (basically the max I could on my single income) with an offset account, extra repayments and fast approval, both recommended NAB (maybe they pay the most commission lol). Can always refinance down the track; I think the exit is $350.

Yes, definitely not as full fat features wise as others, but it offers the basics that you actually need and gives you a cheaper rate because of it, I think it took 2-3 weeks for full approval as they organise someone to go out and inspect the place/do their own valuations etc as part of the process.

Mines with loans.com.au, no credit card included (unless you count the visa debit card thats tied directly to your offset which I wouldn't), but has 100% offset account and a low rate with no yearly fees, that's exactly what I was looking for.

Credit card is sorted by just getting a zero yearly fee 55day card from what ever bank suits and paying it in full when due.

Pls explain

80% LVR / no LMI, 50% stamp duty

Or they can go guarantor on the loan and you technically don't need any deposit or LMI.

Can't guarantee a loan where the guarantor does not receive corporate benefit.

This confuses me - explain?

you can't provide a guarantee where you don't receive direct benefit from the deal.

eg: mum and dad guarantee their kids house, no direct benefit to mum and dad is perceived as they don't live in it.

eg: house is in Mrs name and loan is in Mr's name - they live together. Mrs provides a guarantee supported by her house to use as security = direct benefit

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • 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).
