Ok,

pooling our combined knowledge for a good cause - my savings!!

Im tempted to just go to autotint or whatever they're called (next to westate Autobahrn) in Nbridge, but is there anywhere better and/or cheaper around that I should consider.

FYI, they have an advert out the front for tinting FROM 199, though they quoted me $299/car.

I had my tint done recently by the guy that did JiMiH's

highly recommend him, he was cheap, can do all types of tints and was faultless. Took him about 2 hrs to do

it was $180 for my R32. So if you (or anyone) wants his (todd) number, PM me.

i used to take my cars to jamal from current trendz, but i havent been happy with his quality in the past year (2 out of the 3 cars i took there constantly bubble, and he wont fix)

:uh-huh:

well he said to me "if you have any issues give me a buzz". I figured it was worth the chance being only $180 for dark tint.

he works for a tint place and does cashies after work

Personally i like to deal with 'after work cashie' when i can, the service seems more personal, and they tend to take a lot of care knowing that you will recommend them, and you deal directly with them.

does that make sense? :P anyhow..will send the PM

i got complete mirror tinting and it is fully fully illegal, but i love it, but yesterday i started to rip it off

i am not sure who is doing mine, but JimH highly recommend that guy Zanda, i would go to him, might even do it myself next week

lata

Ive had peter garden do a couple of my cars, hes out in ballajura, does the 95% dark as hell tint, wierdly i never got a sticker ofr it on either car, got pulled over a couple of times but thtye never questioned it..

Sun Pro in Ossie Park.

60% heat rejection 99% UV.

Leagal and has a cool mirror finish that you can still see through.

HIGHLY Recommended but it ain't cheap.

had mine done there, price was ok but quality wasn't that good,

spears that look like / are at the bottom of my rear 1/4 windows look shit, and also the rear window theres bubbles with grains of shit under them etc...i gotta either go back to get it re-done for free or go somewhere else. they have a good range though from legal, to black as f--k and mirror, where u can't see through them at all even in daylight.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
