does anyone know where i could go to look @ differnet types of tint? is ther any way on a car to determine how tinted they are? both our other cars are done, but they came factory...they both look diferent too

are both types legal? ...matt black and reflective?

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.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
