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.

:blink:

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????

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
