I got my tint done at tint-a-car in joondalup.

Didnt do a bad job but it was only 35% (darkest legal) tint.

Iv seen a photo of a skyline with TKO plates on it. Them plates used to be owned by Trent who owns TKO tinting and can add logos and graphics etc. See if it is him with the skyline and he might be able to give ya cheaper price. He is also a mobile tinting service (comes to your house or work).

Let us know what he says if you make contact with him as im gonna get a ute tinted soon. Dont make the same mistake i made too - got my car tinted on a stinking hot day and couldnt open the windows for few days hahaha... Sweating like a pig.

Mr Keets - Let us know how you go with Trent's work as ill need a ute tinted when i sell my car...

Was gonna have my R tinted by TKO lastime but just ended up at tintacar as he was pretty booked out.

Are you the one with the GMG 32 with the garretts and the GTR decal on the bodykit???

Mr Keets - Let us know how you go with Trent's work...

.... GMG 32 with the garretts and the GTR decal on the bodykit???

Yes and Yes...I'm sure the decal is somekinda JDM dealer add-on. Except for one on GTROC its the only one i've seen.

SunPro in Mirrabooka did my Laser many moons ago in the desert smoke, did a pretty good job too. No bubbles etc with a lifetime gaurantee as long as you are the owner of the car....There is a good place in vic Park but the name escapes me >_< sorry.

Brother-in-law is a tinter for tint-a-car and did mine for nufin but I slipt him a pineapple for the cost of the tint... its a new slightly thicker film (18%)... I was going to go for the legal 35% but thought if the cops pull me over and want to sticker the car, they will just pick on something else if not my tint, my exhaust or ride height... I like the tint so to hell with what the cops think of it, legal or not... its what you want.

If you want a good job cheap I could ask him... but I have also used trent a few years back and I would use him if I didn't have someone in the family to do it for me!

Thanks Team

Thanks Scott, but ive already booked and its an excuse to take a day of work....well not much of an excuse at work but it works for me :) Its just a matter of choosing the film I suppose. Im probably going to get 35% but the darker stuff is appealing. Anyone have any issues driving with Darker tint?

Its only when you get into the 5% stuff do I find you have driveabilty issues (Can't see down sidestreets at night etc)

15% is fine, and is the one I normally go for.

Although on my GTR I thought all that black would be a bit dark (Police attention) so went the 30%.

Still in some lights they look very similar

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
