G'day All,

Was bored the other day, so I wandered down to a local Premier window tinting place to see if I could organise a group buy. From my understanding this was organised a little while ago, so please excuse me if I step on anyone's toes here, but I missed out on this one, so I'm trying one of my own.

Anyway, this is what they had to offer. Firstly, the tint. There are two option.

- Ultima tint - specs can be found here, http://www.mep.com.au/auto-ultima.html They tell me this tint is used to make the popular Formula 1 tint. That is, using ultima, 3M, add three more protective layers to make Formula 1. I think the Ultima's have 2 protective layers only. Price $195, originally $295

OR

- Cybertint, specs found here, http://www.mep.com.au/auto-cybertint.html Lesser quality, price of $175, originally $225(I think) This is the one reduced to $195 if you go in by yourself.

So yeah, according to them, if we can get 5 cars, we can get the lower prices. Best thing is, we needn't go all at once, although it would be a great club thing. But they also issue gift certificates, so all we need to do is go there to get these together one day.

Errr, not too sure what else to write. Oh, I am no way a business. I just want to tint my windows, and yeah hoping to get some interest to get a cheaper price.

To be hones, I'm not sure whether this is a great deal, as I think the previous group thing was a hell of a lot cheaper. If anybody else can do the leg work, then please feel free to take over.

So what is everyone's thoughts? Oh yeah, the place is in Nunawading, near Bunnings. SE of Melbourne.

Oh, one last thing, moderators, if this should be moved, apologise, but can you help me here. So please reply. If there is interest, I can give them a call for you guys.

Cheers!

Hey Scotty

That deal sounds pretty good.... just wondering if we could get the F1 tint for a similar price.....

I read another post about tinting, and DJLethal said he has a contact at Tint-a-car that could do a nice deal for tints.

Lethal, you around???

yer i guess i cna arrange another one at tint a car camberwell again, it was $180 to get a skyline coupe done all over in either darkest legal formula one or the illeagal stuff

if you guys are interested, pop some names down and once i get 8 ppl or more ill give him a buzz and arrange asomething coz i gotta get a window re-tinted anyways because i scratched it real bad :P so ill come donw too for the day :(

Wicked sick Lethal!!!

Scotty - comeon, jump onto the Tint-a-car bandwagon. 180 for Tint-a-car F1 tint is damn fine.

Makaveli - better ask lethal if it costs extra to remove the tint. guessing only, but maybe it is the same cos the surface might need to be prepared anyway to put the tint on.

Anyone else up to tint their car?? Doesnt have to be a skyline right? Is it the same for any coupe?

Just for the other readers out there, how much would it cost to do say a 4 door R33?

can we wait till i get my next car nath? :P i wanna do that one at way-too-cheap rate also :(

For $200 its great but i still reckon the "darkest legal" they did wasn't darkest legal on our cars, as i see too many cars with darker tints. Maybe if you have a factory tint and then add the film ontop it gets darker?..they did a good job on mine

DJ_L3ThAL, yeah, I thought it was you. Great job in getting F1 tint for $180. I'm definately in for that one instead. Ok, KingKw_13, I'm in with DJ_L3ThAL's thing. So how many people do we have now, 4 according to the threads, and DJ_L3ThAL replacement window.

Just for more people to sign up. Come on guys!

PM me for some details of an excellent tinter in Sydney who will tint ur r33 for $180 in whatever percentage tint you want. Oh btw, I've had 8 cars done by him, one which we still own 7 years down the track and the tint is still like new. I just had my r33 done last week and it is awesome.

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
