A mate told me that Premier are having a special on their window tinting, $100 for all windows. That's for the lower quality tint. If you want the high quality titanium metal tint, it will cost you $195, but that's still damn good. They even have a car collection service, not that i'd trust them driving my skyline!!!

Just thought i'd let people know.... if anyone knows anywhere in Melbourne that's cheaper, post it up!

Cheers,

Andrew

My sister got my car tinted as a present and it turned out like shit. That was from a Premier store. There was a bubble in my back window, not cut around the window properly. Shit job.

I know a person who does it for me and friends for about 170 dollars. He just done my line and it looks good, except it got scratch in it from the window going up and down, so I will be takin it back to him to fix b/c some shit would hae done that. Not sure about what type of tint.

well a mate of mine got his tinting done, looks like they did a fantastic job. They did 20% on the back and 30% on the sides (i think, might have been 35%). The tint was cut right to the edge of the window and an all round good job!

I got my Skyline done @ Premier Tint in Liverpool and the job is fine. The cut is excellent. But the film bubbles during drying. I've had them replace it on my drivers side and passenger side front windows because it had been 8 weeks and still hadnt dried out. Now it looks fine all round.

yeah... the reason is they use water to help the film stick to the window, they also use a glue. And they squigy it out but there is still some water left behind the tint. When the tint/glue cures it pulls onto the window and forces the water out through the tint as it's porous and all the littl bubbling disappears. They say if it doesn't they will do it again. I had my old shitty tint removed from the back window and quarter windows as it was too dark and going purple. I wouldn't have minded 20% all round but as skylines are fairly attractive to police i didn't want to get done becaus i had slightly darker tinting. And if you stack the car, the insurance companies are cracking down and testing window tints with a light meter and cancelling the policies... so you'll be left with no car!

So i decided to go legal... you only need legal tint on moving windows, so the back and quarter windows were done with the darkest tint.

My sister offered to get my windows tinted for my 21st birthday which is in a few weeks. I will go ahead with it. I am thinking of going with express tinting at moorooka (brisbane) next to the matilda. Should get a good deal cuz my mates family run the matilda and he is good mates with the tinting bloke.

I dont mind chipping in a bit more for the best tint and lifetime warranty. Any recomendations?

yeah no worries scotty - need to compare the quality of the 195 jobbie to the 100 buck jobbie.

I will be WTF?!?! if it still bubbles.

can anyone verify the claim that the rear and side windows can be darker than legal, but the moving windows need to be darkest legal?

i can... i had it done and that's what the premier tinting guy told me when i dropped the car off... I got 20% on the back and rear quarter windows, and 35% (legal) on the side moving ones. If it bubbles they will replace it for free.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
