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

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
