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)

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.

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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
