Hi Everyone,

I'm looking into getting my windows tinted, I'm thinking I might try and get some group discounts. Would anyone be interested? I have spoken with Tint-a-Car Gawler and they are willing to negotiate a price with a group.

Cheers,

Penny

+1 to Ric if you want i can ring him and let him know your interested in running a group buy through his store, im guessing you know also that when getting prospective quotes that you dont let each of them know how much others have offered to do the job for

Yeah I know how it works, I will need to know what our requirements are (product wise) and an estimated number of people interested.

Makes our business more attractive, hence hopefully a more competitive offer.

I am aware of the SunGuard range (what Auto Perfection use) and the Tint-a-Car range.

Once I know our requirements then I can flick a few emails out and make a few calls and see who comes back with the best group offer.

Soooo who is interested and what sort of tint are you after?

Id put links up but I'm on my phone and I'm pretty sure we can all google. Haha

i been thinking a lot about this too and it doesn't show good will towards a PAID club sponsor

Ric has helped the club out HEAPS with all sorts and its a bit of a smack to his face trying to play him off against other tint places

i will speak with the admins and fellow executives about this and sorry to say but thread may disappear

EDIT

sorry if i sounded a little harsh i do commend the thoughts behind this

Steve, give me a call back and I'll detail my thoughts on this.

Perhaps get in contact with them anyway (Steve or Penny) and see what they can do with regards to a group buy. Like Steve said, they're a sponsor already with a 10% and I'm sure they'll look after us. Lets not also forget that we've had a long term relationship with Auto Perfection long before they supported the club, as many people have been happy with their work and pricing ... so we're not recommending them based on their sponsorship alone. :P Food for thought.

Having said that now, I'll put my money where my mouth is ... I like to get the front windows (except windshield) tinted a little heavier now we have these new laws on tinting.

:blink:

Yeah no worries, didn't realise they were paid sponsers. I was looking for myself and thought I'd sus it for others at the same time.

I don't know the guys at Auto Perfection nor the SunGuard products so if someone wants to discuss it with them then go for it.

I dont think we even need another group buy... Auto Perfection gives us a good price already. I've had my R33 done with them last time, got the old man's Delica done aswell and I'll be having the GTR tinted by them aswell. Also had the alarm system on the GTR supplied and fitted by them and the alarm system in my daily fitted by them.

I may have 2 cars for a full 4 doors and rear windows but only if it's more central. The money I'd save would be spent on petrol getting there haha.

Also not keen on that sun guard stuff. It lifted on my rear dimisters and wouldn't sit flush with air bubbles init. :blink:

In about a month I will be looking for 2 front windows done in 20% - must be black/charcoal tint to match factory rear privacy glass of Legnum. Ric has done my other legnum in the past, would like to go back there if the price is right.

I've been meaning to get my R34 fronts done since the new tinting laws came into effect in January - so if there's a group-buy, seems like a good opportunity :)

yep i have been thinking about getting my tints done as well......so this is a good time i guess....also what is the new tinting laws????

      R32 GTR Limp Mode?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      R32 HICAS, so long as the CU is not itself faulty, is easy to keep working enough for the PS. Just unplug the smaller of the two loom plugs, on the CU, like I have already said about 4000 times on this forum. This works with all the stock hardware, or with a lock bar, or with a complete removal. I know, because I have done all of them. OK, actually, I never put a lock bar on because why would you put a lock bar on when you can get rid of the whole lot, including the stupid tie rod ends?

      Join the NorCal facebook group btw, but if you can confirm it is HICAS I would install a lock bar and do the work to keep the HICAS control unit happy despite the hardware not functioning. The HICAS control unit is also responsible for speed sensitive power steering so if it's unhappy you'll get failsafe/heavy power steering. A standalone can control that power steering solenoid valve but sometimes it's just easier to stick with the factory setup. Tomei makes a little electronic module that you can install to fool the control unit. I would probably go through the effort to not use a scotch-lok and build a harness so I don't have to chop up the OEM harness. Where you could source those connectors and pins I wouldn't know at the moment though.

      Pops when backing off throttle, rough-ish sound through rev range.

      Oh, another question comes to mind though. What sort of shitty fuel are you feeding it. Mine, a turbo, has to be fed 98RON, so it doesn't ping itself to death. 98 in Oz is good, dense fuel with minimal oxygenated compounds. Meaning that the energy density is high, and if the O2 trim is working, you will get more MPG than with a lesser fuel. If you're using some sort of piss poor E10 blend with some other MBTE or other oxygenated additions, that could explain using more per mile.

      I have no idea where the thump is coming from, it sounds like its from behind me but im not exactly sure. And it was the HICAS light that came on.   I think a complete delete is the route im going to go. Probably going to pick up the kit within the next month and get it installed. HICAS is just going to end up being a headache if I keep it.    Thanks you.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Just putting this here for reference for other beginners. Similar to what I said above.  I learnt if you have a few dents that are fairly close to each other (within a couple of inches maybe 2-4 inches?) Use filler across them all and sand it all at once with the long block as opposed to fixing them seperately.  Will make life MUCH easier because you won't get stuck in the cycle that I did. I think doing it seperately there is some overlap (mean your whole repair zone might cover near the area of the other dent) and you start sanding near the other dent making a low spot.
