I am just about to get mine done at Solace. But will pay up to get this done if he comes out to me (mobile service) at the Eastern Suburbs. But I was booked in to have it done at Solace next week so for me this has got to happen soon.

mzgtst - sorry I missed you out - you are on the list now

raz0r - mate we are gonna get a good deal with 23 cars ! :(

 

CS_180 - 1996 I understand

 

Jimbo - see my thoughts below

 

MrExa - darkest tint is 5% - way illegal , SAU don't condone this, but he will do it :spank:

 

Oh and I think mirror tint is available too - I'll check it out.

 

The place is in Nth Ryde / Ryde area - but there is another location too - and also he has a mobile service - obvioulsy cheaper if we go to him -  

 

My Skyline took about 1 hr and I waited and chatted to him whilst he did it - Nice guy.

 

OK - this is way more popular than I thought it would be - 23 cars - Which is a good thing.

 

First I thought we could organise a day where we could all go down at a pre-arranged and scheduled times - but since we now have 23 interested cars, I dont think this will be possible

 

So...

 

I will propose that we do like a voucher type system.

 

I will go to him and get prices for the group buy -  

 

If the price is good and you guys are still keen, you get the $$ to the tint ppl  OR me (if you trust me :) ) and I'll go down and get 23 (or whatever) vouchers that will entitle you to get your tint done on the vehicle specified. I'll see that the certificates are valid for like 30-45 days - so you all have a month or so to book in a time and day to get your tint done.

 

If this is all agreeable - then I'll take expressions of interest and payments for 2 weeks then close the deal.

 

After the 2 weeks I'll get all the certificates and mail them to you.

 

I'll get details of the tints and types of films available when I negotiate the deal.

 

BTW - I will be pushing for an EXTRA discount for SAU-NSW members - there may be an extra saving of $20 or something there.

 

So if you want to join the club - do so now and we'll see if we can get an extra heavy duty good deal for you !

 

Anyway - they are my thoughts - it may change after I speak to them....

I can trust you moite

quality work sunshine

Yeah, I think it would be infintely easier to get all the money to B-Man and he can sort it out...

Otherwise we have to rely on people calling the tinter with their details and blah blah blah... Too hard basket. It'll take too long.

Cool - that's 25 cars.

I'll be calling around tomorrow. So I'll post back when I get some number$.

Yeah - I mentioned getting $$ to the tinter guy - incase some folks didn't trust me for whatever reason.

I would agree though that if you all got your $$ to me , it would be administratvely easier all round. So I think we'll go this way - You guys should all know me by now to know that I won't skip the country...

justinfox - I don't think we will be ready for you mate - sorry - So I see that you have two choices - keep the Solace appt - or cancel it and wait for us. Depends what you want to do - BTW Nice car - I saw the pics in your wheels for sale thread - Nice wheels too - I wish I could afford them , they would look hot on my Silver R33. - Sorry, I digress. Whoreing my own threadi WTF :(

Ok peeps - stay tuned ! :)

Guys - you can still get in on this if you want (of course depending on pricing)

OK - I spoke to my guy today.

Tosh - He can do a secure tint film - but it has limitations in terms of shades - ie he can't do super super (5%) tints - only 38% (darkest legal).

Yes - he can do Mirror Tint for rear quaters etc

What we need to do now is complile a list of who wants what and more importantly if there is existing tint on your car.

They do 38% (Darkest Legal), 28%, 18% & 5% - Cybertint range (ie More matt black than shiny)

Also - 38% & 15% in the Quantum Range (more refelective than Cybertint)

I have 18% (Cybertint) on my R33 if anyone has seen it - for a comparison.

All film is Metal Film

All film has a lifetime warranty.

I now need to get him a list - and he will give me a price.

Post back here if you already have tint - and/or you have any special requirements. (eg Secure Film or Reflective Tint)

NP Tosh - but is getting new Plenum & new TB on this week so I'll let you know when I get it back.

I'll be keen for a cuise ASAP after I get it back anyhoo - bring on 24PSI yeah baby !

b man, sorry to be difficult, but id like to know the difference between the matt blackand the shiny prices, 38% only, for a VN commodore. you can put me down for all windows (bar the front), 38%, now its just a matter of pricing to decide which type

i have no issues with pre-payment either (esp as it seems there is not much that ure new car still needs :)

thanks bman

ive changed mine to 18%...i thought 38 was darker then 5....wrong direction

I think the prices are the same - just the finish is different.

I'll be getting prices ASAP. I'll try to get photos too.

But since prices may be the same - you can decide on the day.

Rgds

Cool. How dark is 18%? Is that like limo spec? I want mine pretty dark :wassup: and legality is not my prime concern. Protecting my skin, security, and looks are my main issues. :)

I currently have tint on my rear quarter windows only. Only thing is, I am going over-seas on 31st of this month so mid-late feb will be the only time I can do this. Is that ok?

Thanks B-man.

Richard

    • Bah! I can't see the point in custom number plates at all. I went to the rego office, fished through a box of "premium" plates (the ones that had the "not as tall" option for the front plate) and picked the one that had a 32 in it. That's the limit of the effort and cost I will put into number plates. The only plate that I'd consider paying for would be 2332, but that's not possible here because it already exists from probably 90 years ago, and it would cost a fortune to obtain it, if it were available.
    • After chasing my tail with LS results..... and cheaper than a turbo swap... How confident are you that the dyno is accurate relative to other results? How fast is the car - What MPH does it actually run? Is this similar to what people running this power would expect?
    • Hi mate I am having an identical issue with my 98 R34 GTT. The engie suddenly cuts out under load at about 3-4k, black smoke out exhaust. Almost feels like traction control kicking in. No CEL but still going to check codes later today. Car was sitting in the shed for about 5 months before hand and only idled a few times, took her out with about 1/4 tank, filled up and thats when the issues started happening.  Threw on a spare set of coils/harness and checked plugs which was no help. Recently had fuel pump/filter changed so surely thats not the issue unless condensation in fuel, I just havent had the time to drain it It's running a hi flow turbo, bosch 1000cc injectors, walbro 450L, Z32, Nistune etc... All about 2000km old.
    • I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?
    • Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
