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.

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????

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!

      I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
