Does $110 seem abit much to get just the 2 front windows tinted?

sounds pretty cheap to me. At my work it's $375 for a full car, or the same guy does it at hone under his own business and it's $250 for a full carthumbsup.gif

the place i had mine done bent the rail inside the drivers door so my window ended up falling down inside the door about a week after the tint was done. the tint was ruined too.

Here's something that should interest all "L" & "P" platers.

Just saw a show on Chanel 9 where a kid blew .015 and insisted he had nothing to drink (zero tolerance obviously in his case).

Proved later that he was affected by his drunk mate passenger....just by inhaling the air that his mate was exhaling in the same car.

So the moral of the story is, if you're an "L" or "P" plater, don't kiss drunk chicks (or blokes) and stay away from "close talkers" :cheers:

asif u would kiss ur mate if u wernt drunk tho :nyaanyaa:

I only ask because I'm used to paying less then $200 for an entire car where as I'm only asking to just get 2 windows done now.

Booked in tomorrow I didn't care about the price just asking to see if this was about normal.

^^ not sure but if you can find what your looking for at super cheap auto I have a gift voucher I would like to sell someone could buy and use on such a purchase

I guess it would depend if you're spray painting or just using some air tools and look for one with a 2yr warranty

edit Supercheap's website has some on the front page

Federal 595-SS 255/40/17 $147.00 i have heard these are a very good street tyre

Krishy's mate priced me up a good price on these Bob Jane prospect

npz his name escapes me just atm im sure Krishy will be in later and tell us his name

lol

Good to hear that you were able to get a good deal with them mate. His name is Clint.

Just let him know that you know me and he will try and get you the best deal. No harm in asking for a quote :D

Anyone know where to get a good but cheap compressor? And what to look for?

Yeah as Steve-o said, depends what you are doing. If you do a bit of spraying and want a good spray gun, youll need a fairly decent compressor. put it this way, to get one of our good gravity guns, youll need at least 300 litres per minute free air delivery. Or a bit lesser quality, around 210-220 lpm

Yeah I wouldn't mind getting something with the ability to do spraying aswel as air tools. From what I can see Super cheap auto compressors only do around 180 lpm, I have kiij around the net though and people are talking about connecting two together if needed, which I suppose I could do but it would take up alot of space.

finally took the track pads out of the GTR last night.

the rotors have seen better days, the backing plate on the pads has all the paint flaked or broken off.

the tyres are shocking! 2 huge flat spots!

the front under guard is just zip tied on.

it at least starts easy, and runs fine. its sad looking at the wheels and seeing cobwebs connecting the brakes and wheels!

GTR definitely is in need of some TLC

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
