Hey Guys.

I was going to get my current finance refinanced with Esanda, but

they said they don't finance for imports..... :)

ANy companies out there that do?

Also, looking to pay it off in 3 yrs so they need to have a minimum loan term of 3 yrs...not more.

Or if anyone can hook us up with a low rate, then pls PM me.

Kind Regards,

Paul

You can get a unsecured personal loan from pretty much any bank and as long as you can repay it and havent got a bad credit history they'll lend 30k with out any problems at all. The only problem with unsecured loans is that the finance institution doesnt use your car as security so the interest rates are slightly higher. Normally theres a 2-3% difference p.a. between a secured and unsecured. In a loan term of 3yrs thats not going to make that much of a difference maybe an extra 10-15 bucks a week, if that. You are going to find it extremely tough to find a place to lend you money and use an import as security, none of the big banks will do it, and the smaller places that may generally have hidden fees which makes up for it.

Personally, i would shop around the big banks, and some of the credit unions and get an unsecured variable loan, since the interest rate wont changed that much ovver the next 3yrs to hurt you and by going variable rate you can generally repay as much as you want. Be careful when they say you can make extra repayments on a fixed, there generally is a limit of how much you can repay on top of you standard repayment.

Shop around is the best idea

I personally found that HSBC and MembersEquity unsecured loans were roughly 11.45% which is not too bad for unsecured personal loans.

There is a really cheap company called EasyStreet but I don't think they will loan much money at all as they wanted security which was a different loan with a different division of the company.

Most banks will prefer if you tell them you are taking it out for 5 or 6 years and pay it off early, but watch out for exit fees.

Gareth

st george quoted me 8.95% and monthly repayments of $1022 for a 30k loan

HSBC quoted me 10.45% and monthly repayments of $974

How the hell does that work out?

$9744 is more than $1022 :P

I think you mean $974. Did you check the term that they calculated the repayments on?

St George may be 36 months. HSBC may be 38 or so.

i had a hell of a time getting finance myself, all the lenders hated hearing "import" mentioned

i eventually went with Police and Nurses

their TV ads are shit, but they were pretty happy to have my business

they do however, seem to need to know where most of the money is going, but they don't seem to care why the money is going there (actually had a bit of trouble explaining the three step import/payment process i was meant to use with my importer, but i got around it)

on 15k it was like 11.24% fixed over 5 years

min fortnightly repayments of like $167

(its cheaper if you do the thing where they deduct repayments from your pay, 10.02% at the time, but i was changing jobs... i guess i have the option to change it now, but their phone number is all the way in my pocket)

I got mine (for my R34) through RACQ (who I work for, but they offer finance to anybody) who onsell from RACV (who offer the same sort of finance directly).

The requirements were:

Bought from a dealer (only because it's an import)

Full comp insurance (a given on financed cars)

Also, because of my pretty much zero credit history, I had to show a savings history.

$25K over 5 years = min $230 fortnightly payments (can't remember what the % rate was)

Edit: Should point out that I'm paying it off quicker than that

      Borg Warner EFR Series Turbo's V 2.0

      By Borci88 · Posted

      Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

      Infiniti Q60 Navigation Update

      By Chocolate Cheesecake. · Posted

      I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
