South coast window tinting at lonsdale. Great job... will do your car for approx. $200 if you mention you part of the Skyline club. Has done two of my cars already and will be doing my GTR soon.

"SUNBLOCK tinting" on main north rd, near synergy and scottys motel do tint from $220

not sure about the quality your after, but had a few mates get tint from there and they seem to be happy.

if your worried there is a warranty against fading, etc...

the life of the warranty will be over after you sell your car though.

hope that helps mate!

Thanks for all the replies guys. Basically I am looking for a darker than legal metallic tint. Most of the tinting places wouldn't do darker than legal so that's why I have to look for the side liner's.

hey, i think sunblock will do whatever percentage tint u want, 20 percent and even lower, but if its lower than 35% then they dont give u that sticker to certify its legal. also note that most car manufacturers already have some form of film on their windows, which will inturn the lower % even more. there are some places out there that put these legal stickers on there only to cop fines for illegally putting the 35% VLT sticker on when in fact the tint isnt what at the level of what it specifies.

note that for the front two windows (driver's & passenger) the legal limit is 70 percent i think it is...(which is pretty much clear window) with the rear & quarter windows being allowed the 35%

Hope that helps,

Darker than legal, 20% metallic tint, $170, works for a tinting place and does it in his driveway on weekends, sounds like the guy who did my Statesman a few years back.

Sorry, I don't have his details any more either, but it was a great job at a top price.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
