I had mine done at tint-a-car camberwell; he's happy to do whatever you want - no receipt (but is a good guy and will honour any problems and fix them under good will) it cost me 250. I will take some pics tomorrow and post them.

Prices so far are too expensive...imo

I just got mine done 2 weeks ago. Cost me $70 for both front windows...the rest is already really dark...i think full skyline tint was $150-180

BTW this is TOP quality tint and has lifetime warranty too. It is a Metallic based film, not the cheap ass dyed, fading crap!

I got it done at Premier tint on cheltenham road dandy ~ not far from you INASNT [i think].

They will tint whatever % you want too, legal or otherwise...without a hassle...

CANCEL your booking and contact them on:

Premier Window Tint

Dandenong U3/ 171 Cheltenham Rd 3175 (03) 9793 9154

I'm also looking at getting my windows tinted soon. My old car was really dark, you couldn't even use the back windows at night, and to back out of anywhere, you had to wind down your windows. I don't want to go that dark again, but 20% rear and 30% sides sounds pretty good.

If anyone starts to tee all this up, count me in. Otherwise I'll have to find somewhere to go.

those that have some shots of their car and the tint % post them so we can see what is what. I see plenty of cars around with tints but have no idea what they are in terms of darkness. Most look pretty light to me, but i am sure they are not factory.

35% is pretty light compared to how most jap imports come here -usually 10-20%. You can look at samples at just about any tint place before you stick it on. I dont have pics since I tinted my front windows but their is a nice difference...

here is a before shot for reference

i had a look at premier already. If u read the warranty clause of theirs closly u will notice the warranty only cover the labour to change anything for warranty purposes not the parts.

The place i am going to have been around 30 years and have a good rep.

I didnt bother reading the warranty as it only cost $70 and the tint on its own is usually pretty cheap anyways [parts]. I am sure the bulk of the $70 would have been labour...I am just guessing though!

The Premier guys have been around a while too [not that i personally think it matters too much] I believe. They also do skylines all the time...also cars a lot more expensive than ours...I am talking cars over $100,000+ porsche, ferrari, etc.

As long as you are happy with what you get [including price] then nothing else really matters!

Inasnt, a guy at my work told me to get mine done this week..

he said he heard on the radio that premier was offering 2 cars for $170 darkest legal tint!

the 1 they r offering aint that dark man. They will only put 35% all round. Thats crap

The same deal I got ~ radio ad, except I only needed the 2 fronts tinted, so was only $70.

No, they will do a lot less than 35%...

Same here Arsn, previous car was done darkest legal @ tint a car [foostscray store] and looked nice but still not that dark...

I am very happy with my tints from Premier. Good quality tint [metal], warranty and low cost...no complaints so far had them done 2-3 weeks ago now...

getting legit tint , 33% all round.. never know, heard coppas are pretty strict on dark windows and they can do some test.. don't wanna take any risk..

i got darker than legal on mine and when i got pulled over by the cops at the dyno day they even said "u can barely see that p plate" to which i stayed silent as i only had it done the week before lol

mine was 150 cause im l337.... i know where the guy lives and i have his number etc so if it bubbles i go back and he redoes it for me.

    • I came here to note that is a zener diode too base on the info there. Based on that, I'd also be suspicious that replacing it, and it's likely to do the same. A lot of use cases will see it used as either voltage protection, or to create a cheap but relatively stable fixed voltage supply. That would mean it has seen more voltage than it should, and has gone into voltage melt down. If there is something else in the circuit dumping out higher than it should voltages, that needs to be found too. It's quite likely they're trying to use the Zener to limit the voltage that is hitting through to the transistor beside it, so what ever goes to the zener is likely a signal, and they're using the transistor in that circuit to amplify it. Especially as it seems they've also got a capacitor across the zener. Looks like there is meant to be something "noisy" to that zener, and what ever it was, had a melt down. Looking at that picture, it also looks like there's some solder joints that really need redoing, and it might be worth having the whole board properly inspected.  Unfortunately, without being able to stick a multimeter on it, and start tracing it all out, I'm pretty much at a loss now to help. I don't even believe I have a climate control board from an R33 around here to pull apart and see if any of the circuit appears similar to give some ideas.
    • Nah - but you won't find anything on dismantling the seats in any such thing anyway.
    • Could be. Could also be that they sit around broken more. To be fair, you almost never see one driving around. I see more R chassis GTRs than the Renault ones.
    • Yeah. Nah. This is why I said My bold for my double emphasis. We're not talking about cars tuned to the edge of det here. We're talking about normal cars. Flame propagation speed and the amount of energy required to ignite the fuel are not significant factors when running at 1500-4000 rpm, and medium to light loads, like nearly every car on the road (except twin cab utes which are driven at 6k and 100% load all the time). There is no shortage of ignition energy available in any petrol engine. If there was, we'd all be in deep shit. The calorific value, on a volume basis, is significantly different, between 98 and 91, and that turns up immediately in consumption numbers. You can see the signal easily if you control for the other variables well enough, and/or collect enough stats. As to not seeing any benefit - we had a couple of EF and EL Falcons in the company fleet back in the late 90s and early 2000s. The EEC IV ECU in those things was particularly good at adding in timing as soon as knock headroom improved, which typically came from putting in some 95 or 98. The responsiveness and power improved noticeably, and the fuel consumption dropped considerably, just from going to 95. Less delta from there to 98 - almost not noticeable, compared to the big differences seen between 91 and 95. Way back in the day, when supermarkets first started selling fuel from their own stations, I did thousands of km in FNQ in a small Toyota. I can't remember if it was a Starlet or an early Yaris. Anyway - the supermarket servos were bringing in cheap fuel from Indonesia, and the other servos were still using locally refined gear. The fuel consumption was typically at least 5%, often as much as 8% worse on the Indo shit, presumably because they had a lot more oxygenated component in the brew, and were probably barely meeting the octane spec. Around the same time or maybe a bit later (like 25 years ago), I could tell the difference between Shell 98 and BP 98, and typically preferred to only use Shell then because the Skyline ran so much better on it. Years later I found the realtionship between them had swapped, as a consequence of yet more refinery closures. So I've only used BP 98 since. Although, I must say that I could not fault the odd tank of United 98 that I've run. It's probably the same stuff. It is also very important to remember that these findings are often dependent on region. With most of the refineries in Oz now dead, there's less variability in local stuff, and he majority of our fuels are not even refined here any more anyway. It probably depends more on which SE Asian refinery is currently cheapest to operate.
