Credit card - then do balance transfer to low interest credit card transfer deal

e.g. http://www.citibank.com.au/aus/credit_cards/cards_platinum.htm

Just don't use the card for anything else. Shop around for other deals though, the citibank card has a $250 a year fee

Still can't believe they offered one once with 3.99 for the life of the transfer

Would a Victorian unregistered vehicle permit be valid in nsw? So I can drive my car from the hotel to the show n shine

Also remember a unreg permit is meant to be only for getting things done to register your car.

So if you get pulled over up the Hume, you will have a lot of explaining to do, and if not sufficient permit goes and you call a tow truck.

Hambo - 2 days this week doing 6hr shifts in a kitchen - knocked the stuffing outta me, but must admit I'm highly enjoying it.

Will get used to it in a few weeks no doubt.

Cant wait to get open!

hahaha so in total you did 1 average day (well only if there was no break) ;)

opening you own place you will probably end up doing 80-100 hrs a week untill it's making cash back. EOTD every 40/w you d is 50k a year that you aren't paying somone else to do it .

we still need to have that drink... you free this week?

Got a 10k limit on my credit card... But think for cash advances the interest rate is stupid high...Don't know coz I've never used cash advance.

Might be an option considering most personal loans charge a fee if u pay it off within the first 12 months...

Hamish & Andy, insider opinion?

Personal loan is the safest option.

atm westpac are offering a 12.9% from memory.

dont go the cash out then balance transfer method, as you will then have 3 x enquires on your veda report within a year and the balance transfer might get knocked back.

what is the story with your homeloan? is there an interest only portion? cos if there is i'd be staying away from excess credit until this is over as the loan will be reviewed at when it reverts to principle and interest.

personal loan is the safest option if a 5k redraw is not available to you.

just remember that every redraw will be visibale to a banker when you wish to restructure the product, and as such you always want to keep this at a minimum.

with a credit card you have to be more vigilant and make sure the payments are made on time, not early, not late and if you pay just the minimums on 5k you will be paying that for approx 15 years, whereas a personal loan will be 5-7

yes they are, on their flexi loan til the end of the year

He already has the CC though, so should be one less? Probably my circumstances, but never had any issues with my report to date.

Yeah, fkers, late fee for paying early :-/

It's not a late fee for paying early, it's because interest is calculated monthly, so if you pay early then your payment will count towards the previous month and technically you haven't paid the current month... Jus made a double pay for the previous month.

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
