Hey two quick. How are you?

Welcome aboard buddy.

Dont ever go for personal finance. Its no good. Interests is just way too high and their service is useless.

Its like having a credit card with 20000 to spend.

You are better off applying for a personal loan at the bank.

A secure loan is easier usually as they attach the loan to the car you are buying.

A unsecure loan is probably better as they dont attach the car to the loan just in case.

Westpac and St George seem to be the most two helpful banks around.

You should have some savings or equity of some sort. if you dont just use your parent and pretends its yours.

If you are young and eager to get a car. maybe you should wait as having a personal loan isnt easy. Monthly payments sound easy but I can promise there will be times you will get caught short due to unforseen things popping up.

Good luck anyway champ.

Minh

I'm with you Minh,

i had SOO many troubles finding a finance company that can "secure" a loan to an imported vehicle.. I went thru AGC in the end, and got $26k :(

Westpac and St George wouldnt give me a $25k unsecured loan... as I'm only 20 and have no savings history. regardless of the fact I can EASILY afford the repayments.. banks are nazi's.

Westpac wouldnt "secure" to an import. and most finance companies wont due to it being a grey import.

My solution. i got TWO loans, one unsecured and one secured. I used the unsecured 10K loan as a deposit for the secured loan. worked FINE.

I also went through a broker here in perth too. so that helped push things in my favour, remember a broker has access to lending products/rates/criteria that the general public doesnt. :(

Short story: Unsecured personal loans for large amounts are hard to get. Get it secured, but good luck finding a company that will do it.

Hope that give you something to think about .

yer guys id have to agree. ive done a finance degree so know all about banks and their little tricks:)

just get a personal loan. an insurance company wont lend money on an asset where another company has their name on an assets deed first, as the other bank can make a claim before them.

so just get an 'unsecured personal loan.' this means u arent giving the bank any personal guarantee that u can pay the money back. by this i mean u arent saying to the bank 'if i cant pay back this loan then u can sell my car/house etc to recouperate the remainder owing.'

an unsecured loan will attract a slightly higher rate of interest. but thats the cost of having no guarantee that u can pay back the money. on the other hand it'll allow u to get insurance... hopefully:)

hope that helps a little.

going buy yourself to look at the banks and talking to them is the best way. But just keep your head high if they say no. Dont be disapointed. Alot of banks work on funny matrix systems to allow or not allow you to borrow their money.

The other option which is probably the easier and best one is to go and see a broker who for a small fee will know exactly where to go and look and most likely he would have an established relationship with a few banks of his choice already.

He will do all the chasing for you.

If you decide to go to the bank by yourself. You dont have to say the loan is for a car. As banks know car loans arent that good for them especially imports if it is a secure loan.

Just tell them you want to renovate your parents house that you are currently living at.

Apply for a personal loan.....

what you do with the money is your own business. :)

It's the only way to go

If you apply for a car loan, the bank will make you get full comp insurance.

With your age, and the fact that you want an import car, it will cost you a fortune in insurance.

Personal loan.

Then you can have a little bit of $$$ left over for any mods or anything else you need for the car.:)

It must have been because I bank with them but I can't be sure.

Yep thats part of their matrix system. If you are an existing member of st george it always helps in getting a loan off them.

They wont officially go out of their way to ask you what the loan is for but the question will be asked on the form or by the bank lender.

Just say renovations or consolidating debt.

I went for a unsecured loan with National. Very easy took less than three days to complete.

The only wanted three pay slips and asked me what I was buying with the money.

The catch was they wanted the car FULLY insured.

I even haggled them on the interest rate and got it down a few points.

      R34 Skyline climate control unit transistor

      You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
