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)

Dude, if you dont mind my asking, how much did it set you back,

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.

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 :$

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
