  1. I'm with westpac, I called a few places they all said the same thing. Even though the car is valued at more than the loan I still can't find anyone to finance with. Seems to be their policys, won't refinance an undescured loan with a car/secured loan.
  2. I just had this exact problem but had no option other than unsecured loan. Won't finance a car purchase without registration. Avoid this if you can, because once you have the loan for the car they won't refinance it in your name as you are not buying it therefore it is not a car loan but another unsecured loan for refinancing. I was considering selling to my wife so she could get a secured loan on the car but she can't get approval for the amount. As others have said, use a mortgage or other means, avoid the unsecured loan at all costs. Also you don't need to spend 30k for a PV36. I got mine imported and on the road for 19k, 2007 model sedan. It is in show room condition but I chose to go higher mileage than most, 103000k's. But like I said excellent cond.
  3. Frequency band expander install for imported Japanese radio in a V36. Allow 45min. for first timers. 1. Tools: Phillips head screw driver Small flat screwdriver for undoing cable plugs. 2. Parts: Frequency or band expander (this one is from synergy) $50 delivered in a few days This is the old style and won’t work on the V36, more suited to the 300zx etc. I Found out after I had already removed the radio. Wrong connectors Step 1. park the car somewhere shady, open the windows and doors. Now disconnect the battery negative terminal. Step 2. Gently push down on the plastic sheath on the shift boot. Step 3. Unclip the shift know clip, carefully as this can spring off and disappear as it is a kind of spring clip. Step 4. Roll down the shift boot, there is a small looped piece of wire inside the boot which holds it on. Notice it will have a pointy side, it is not round. Later when you get the shift shroud off remove this wire and squeeze it closed a bit. This will tighten it for re-installation later on. See the second pic also. underside later Step 5. Slide the shift knob off, try not to touch the white part as it has grease on it. Step 6. Put you’re your fingers into the boot as shown and pull back and slightly up, not hard, two fingers should be enough. Lift the shroud up a bit. You will notice it fowls on the shift lever. Reach under the shroud and pres the white square under where the shift lock is. Now you can move the shifter back to N and lift off the shroud. See third and fourth pic also for step 6. Carefully unclip the two electrical connectors and place the shroud somewhere safe. Step 7. Now you are left with this. Next remove these two screws at the bottom outside corners of the radio facia. Then lift out as shown. Undo harnesses Now undo the three wire connectors. The flat screw driver can help push Down the clips to allow them to be removed. Step 8. Remove the next two screws under the airon/TV screen facia Lift out the display surround from the bottom first. Now you can see this Step 9. remove these two screws under the screen, they held the screen and the radio housing. And the two screws under the radio unit. Step 10. Pull the radio unit forward, the plug your looking for is on the right hand side of the back of the unit. In this picture you can see it after I have disconnected it. This one is a bit tricky as the unit is still held in with a heap of other wire connectors, so just be patient with it, don’t want to break anything in there. Now simply connect the band Expander to this connector, and The other end to the radio unit. Tuck the expander module in behind the radio, I put mine in the space beside the radio unit and the relays on the drivers side. Now just put it all back together in the reverse order. Sorry about the poor cut and paste method of displaying the above. I did in word but the file was 74Mb and I have word 2000 so can't compress the files So still trying to find out how to improve the clarity of the stations though.
  4. tech word doc attachment didn't work.
  5. Whenever you do a mod to your car it's handy to have some insuctions if you've not done it before, so I thought I'd make this tech article. This shows how to install a band expander for your radio if you have an imported V36. Also i have a question for someone with more knowledge on this than me. After the above install I did get more radio channels but they are not very crisp. Any thoughts?
