In the market for some tint & stockish tyres for the beast,

as usual do the search on the forum & go from there. Im liking Hankook 105s so give good ol recommended Tyre Power a buzz, $190 per corner but since your on SAU $165. Nice i thought but i'll give my local Bridgestone a buzz cos its 5mins from work & can't really be bothered with town today. Nice & helpful guys answers, sorry no discounts but my price is $145 per corner. This point i was :down:

Next to the tint, called Scorpion etc and was given the price of $250 which sounded good. Meh try my luck, called Mobiletek (also 5mins from work) & second thing i was asked was have i been quoted yet. Yes i say, $200 from tint-a-car BOOM price matched.

So is it really all about "who you know?"

Tint @ Auto Perfection - say your from SAU and its $180 ;)

Cheers, I was about to start getting quotes for tint before this heat wave so when it's over I'll get it done

Edited by TALBO
group buy was actually $165 not sure what he is quoting nowadays so dont try and hold him to $180 either be warned

but Ric will certainly look after you just ask Blue32 :ermm:

$165! Yipes he mustv made close to nothing on that, anyone interested in group buy?

Can anyone post a pic of there silver skyline with 30% tint all round? Im aware of the legalities which is why i don't want to go as low as 20%, will attract too much attention.

30% at the front mate is too dark and so still illegal if at the back as well

the legal tint opacity is

front windows = 70% opacity

rear windows = 35% opacity

No tinting on the front or rear wind shield

i think i measured my front windows after taking the tint out and it came to 72% opacity

so your tinting cant be any more darker

No just going to mobiletek,

main north road is bit of a pain for me to get back to work. Thanks Krishy, yep i read up on all those percentages earlier & even so im going to go 35% all round & be confident to still pass as a "sleeper" :(

umm the boys at regency are very picky and the cops that defect you dont even have to measure the opacity

so you going 35% at the front will be heaps dark

when i got my tinting checked i had 19% opacity at the front

it was a pain to drive in the dark in rain thats for sure

had to drive with the windows down to see whats next to me

Im getting confused maybe...

I had 20% all round for my Honda Accord, that was extreme black but i could still see visibly be it rain or shine. It was Sungard like im going to get now, so im assuming going 35% all round on the liner would be a huge difference.

Just get it tested by one of those test meters

they stick it on your window and within 5 seconds it will tell you the opacity of your tint

i also had sunguard mate but mine was black as me lol

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
