thx bman

Thanks for al the trouble your going to, you should hit this guy up to do one of your cars for free considering all the business your bringing his way (well at least at cost) :)

B-man, i have decided to rice up my car a little, do you know if the tinter you have in mind can do the flame effect in windows...silver flames on black background????

Thanks again

Friggin hell - silver flames ???? Huh ??

he he he he he

I know he can do girly stickers for your B piller - he he he

Dunno Roy - I think that would be a bit left field - but I'll ask OK !

I was trying to keep the packages all pretty basic and standard - to keep the costs down and consistant....

Dont mean to be a dumbass, but what is the difference between, Cybertint and Mirror Tint?

I am interested in getting some mirror/dark tint on my new r32 ;)

I dont want it to be a full on mirror reflection, coz i know that is totally illegal as per the rta website.

Also what price are we looking at?

If under 200 bucks i am very interested, just tell me time and place ;)

Flaps - Cybertint like matt - as in the photos above - Quantum is like more refelective - I'd suggest that you go down to your local Solace and check it out.

Jas - the timetable looks like this.

Finalise and agree pricing this week.

Take orders and $$ for next 2 weeks after this - cut off after 2 weeks, whoever has paid gets a voucher.

Vouchers valid for 30-60 days after this , so you can book in anytime that suits.

**Note** all subject to the agreement of the tint guy.

*UPDATE* - the fax I sent yesterday went thru but the kwality was bad- so I have sent all the details via e-mail - Should have something back tomorrow.

All those who are still interested and haven't made a choice on tint type and tint shade, please do so as it will speed things up.

Thanks all !

still might have 3 cars in it for ya, just need to see prices first... :rolleyes:

I'd go for the darkest legal one i can have on R32 GTS-t (ie pre 94 limits)... I think i'd go the more reflective one too... that's the quantum isn't it?....

The other 2 cars, not sure but can ask when i get a price... :)

Update:

Spoke to tint guy - he is super busy and will get back to us Tuesday next week with the price.

Yes, I said price (singular) - It's too hard to work out prices for everyone's individual cars (ie 2-door, 4-door, this tint, that tint) So, he's decided to just give us one price for what ever we want (per car, within reason - sorry Roy, no flames)

* Note this excludes 4WDs - so we'll get a diff price for these.

Thanks for being patient.

that sounds mad b-man...u r a champ....

i hope u r scoring a better deal than the rest of us, just for all tha trouble u r going 2

btw, how nice would todays weather have been @ EC? ah well, maybe next time

cheers

Guys,

Just checked RTA site, you can refer to the following link re: window tinting legality.

Basically:

- No mirror or reflective tinting allowed;

- Darkest tint is 35% VLT (ie: 35% of the light gets in)

- Date this limit is imposed is from 1 August 1994.

So if your car is tinted after 1/8/94, you have to apply the 35% rule.

This info is current as at July 2003

Page 2 & 3 are the relevant ones.

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/dow.../vsi03_rev3.pdf

If the tint is put on after 1/8/94 (regardless of the year model of the car) its got to comply witht he 35% rule.

If your car is older, and you put on tint now, I guess they wouldnt know, and you wouldnt tell them :) , but you could probably tell its new tint anyway. It explains it in the link above.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
