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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
