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

    • Hey guys, Just want some advice on r34 GTT ac system. Since I’ve owned it, the ac compressor, doesn’t matter the set temperature or ambient temperature, runs for around 10 seconds then disengages the clutch, then re-engages everywhere 30 seconds or so and keeps repeating this.    is this normal?   I had it recharged today as it was slightly low and thought it would fix it but still does it. it cools fine in summer even prior to the recharge, except for the usual warmup when stopped or in traffic (still yet to wire overheat fan to on with ac)   any thoughts would be much appreciated 
    • To plug the hole. The engine plant may not have known whether the car it was going into had a gauge or not. It was a long time ago and the integrations might not have been fully modern. Or they might not have cared because the extra inventory and processes to save a few cents on the sender might have cost more anyway. But please tell me you are not still confusing the idea of a pressure gauge sender, and an oil pressure light switch. The switch will be out there. In a separate hole. Probably with only one wire running to it. Running the light.
    • Blower needs to go low on the exhaust side, displacing the AC and PS, which you have to decide whether you want to keep and how and where to relocate if you do. Electric option for PS is, at least, helpful. Sadly, there is no workable 12V electric AC of any value. Whilst the blower is the last compression step before the throttle, and so it might seem a good idea to have it near the inlet manifold (as mentioned above), you probably want it to go through an intercooler first, so, having it on the opposite side of the car facilitates that air flow path. The turbo discharges into the blower, so proximity of the turbo's compressor outlet to the blower's inlet is nice. But then you might want to intercool that too, before boosting it again....which would probably be a ball ache. Routing pipes out to the front and back could be a bit shit. If there was room for (at least) a small (but preferably larger) water to air core on that side, then that would probably be the best approach. I guess a reasonable alternative would be to locate the blower where the alternator is (more or less, associated with the inlet manifold, per Matt's thought), and somehow incorporate a water to air core into the manifold, sort of like they do for modern blown V8s. The big difference here though is that those V8s have only the one throttle (upstream the blower) and only the one compression step (the blower) and no need for too much in the way of bypass/blowoff valves. Whereas in a twin charged 6, you do need to think about one or two bypass valves associated with the 2 compressors and you would prefer to have the intercooling done before the air has to pass through the throttle. You'd like the throttle to work approx the same no matter what the compression is doing. But if it is located in hot air stream before a cooler, then sometimes the air will be real hot, sometimes it will be quite cool, and the throttle mapping/response will be quite different between those two cases. The throttle, if sized for hot air, would be too large for cold conditions. It's all a ball ache.
    • Package SC on exhaust side. Remote mount turbo. Still a fair bit of room when you get creative on the inlet side of the motor too. Especially if you can get really creative with the welding, and effectively build it into the bottom of the inlet manifold. Would definitely take some design work, and some trial and error, to make sure flow works well still! Might be easier to just start with the Nissan March though... All the work is already done for you...
    • I'll sit down and get a post together 😁
