i got the tint on my 32 done at Express Tinting on ipswich rd, the one thats apart of the matilda servo. the bloke in there did an excellent job, one piece for the rear window (i couple of the places i spoke to about tint said they may have to use a split piece on the rear window)

So far the only person who has recommended any places is QWK32... anyone else?

Just gort a quote from Tint-a-car for $320 for the cheapest up to $495 for the expensive one, thats a bit steep...

from memory it was around $350, i cant remember the exact price. i got the receipt at home, i'll have a look for it later when i get home. and that was for rear window, drivers side and passenger side door windows and both the little quarter glass bits on an R32 Coupe. it also came with some sort of warranty.

yeah ask for a cash job u will always get it cheaper

i paid $220 for 20% all round and 35% on front windscreen, if you really over sun heating up the car get the front windscreen tinted its heaven during the day, bit dark at night but nothing bad can still see perfect. good 4 highway night driving also dont get blinded from oncoming traffic. to get front windscreen done ull need a cash job 4 sure.

Anybody thinting on the coast should hit up ultratint on the gold coast. On the north side of ferry rd just b4 you get to the hospital. I have had both my cars and my parents new mecr done there. They are top notch and wouldnt ever go anywhere else.

Also think they are happy to tint to whatever you like. They use 3m tint and also have a great tint that block out alot less heat than your normal black carbons. happy to show anybody the differance on my cars.

Brother recently got his SLK done at Tint-Plus at Mansfield... for $280 (3849 2022)

Same job was quoted 485$ at tina-a-car (Darkest leagal + non-metalic back window)

I think tint plus original price was 350$ for that job but being in our blood we got ourselves a discount hehe...

Anyways, I can't remember her name but she was open for negotiation :( I'm going to get my car done with her at the end of summer for 300$ darkest legal all around (2 door 33)

It's a tad more expensive for mine becuase she has to remove my current tint which is 20% lol :$

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
