Recommended Posts

thats not very fair guys.....its not like he limits his times that hes available...i was told that i could drop my car off the nite b4, and hed have it ready 1st thing (the day b4 mine, hed gotten up @ 415 to do a car)

not very nice 2 bman either...he went 2 heaps of trouble with this one (robert couldnt believe how much organising he had done..the receipts, code numbers, emails etc)

Ohh well i am booked in tomorrow for my line as he done the NX and he done an excellent job. I have never had tints done this proffesionaly.

Thanks for organizing everything B-Man love ya work

Too bad for all the No Show guys you missed out on an excellent deal

And it will look bad on all of us if word gets around

:Bang:

i got tha 15% quantum 2...(got it done abt a fortnite ago...commy, not a line tho)...how nice does it look?....(i managed 2 scratch mine 2 day with my uni bag.....not happy jan)...guess ill have 2 wait 4 the next group buy and get it redone :D

For ****s sake... why must people rub our club name in the mud... B-man has put in heaps of effort for this and his reward... AB-SO-LUT-LY nothing... he did this for you people out there to benifit as he loves Skylines so much... hell, he didn't even get a skyline tinted... It is simple people... if your not 100% sure you can do it, THEN DON"T BLOODY SAY YOU CAN Say you would like to and will let people know or say you can't afford it or just don't say anything... Like me... I was too poor at the time to do it... nothing wrong with that.

However, I'm now not too poor, and if it will make a difference I will have my car done if the offer might still be available to pick up on of the no shows spots?

I'll keep this short and sweet squint.gif

1. They need to learn accountability for their actions.

2. Ban them from future Group Buys.

3. Name names.

Well i admit im one of those people that pulled out, BUT i had a very legitimate reason for pulling it and i did not wait till the last minute to tell Robert, i actually called him up and explained my reason to him and also emailing Brendan about it. I was so looking forward to getting my windows tinted, even couldnt sleep some nights because i couldnt wait, But unfortunately because of a particular incident, im in deep deep financial trouble and i'm looking to re-schedule the tints. But for the others who pulled out on the last minute and just didnt show up, come on guys, thats so slack..and very irresponsible of you. At least i took the time out to call Robert and email Brendan explaining my situation

B-man im really sorrry for what happened and thanks for the offer.

pm sent.

cheers

Guilty - Thanks for your two e-mails explaining your situation - I have spoken to Robert and as soon as you fix a time & date (with me), he is happy to reschedule for *you* only. You already have PM from me with the details.

Get back to me ASAP OK.

Cheers,

Here's a pic of my car with the tints:

Doesn't it make the car look fullee?

Oh and Robert is a nice enough guy.

T.

:werd:

oh when are you getting your chromed spinners? I want your Volks...the spinners will make your car even more fullee maaate. :(

Tony: What percentage tint is that?

It's apparently 18% which is what everyone here is gone for.

I make no claim as to legality.

I did not tint my back window. I have glasses like many of you IT nerds so I don't have the best sight. I kept the back window with the original well faded tint so I can see all the cornholes behind me.

Notice how you can just about see all the way into the back screen but the sides are like dark.

im gettin my done on tuesday 23rd

i probally get 18% cybertint as well.........

jus wondeirn wtf would happen if cops pulled me ova

wat should i say

lol

I brought the car as it is?

I'd be more worried about other mods you have if any.

I think im going to invest in an engineers cert very soon for insurance purposes

yeah thats what i was thinking, if they try to defect me for anythin im gonna act like the biggest idiot, suckin the cops **** on the way as well. and pretendin i have no idea wat he is talkin about and say i bought the car like dat..

got me out of it last time...

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
