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 :$

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
