Hey all,

Went along to the Top Secret Imports Info & Tech night few weeks back as a friend of mine was hoping to learn a bit more about the bits and bobs of our world - (info and pics here http://forum.jdmstyl...orts-14-04-2012)

They were doing various giveaways for the attendees and we ended up scoring a free window tint session with Dave @ Customworx

I had initially put off getting my car tinted as i didn't want any of the hassles that came with it ie. bubbles, creases, scratching from the window roller etc... , but after a long and im sure annoying phone call with Dave i felt somewhat at ease to bring it over to have the work done

We ended up deciding to go with a 20% darkness all round which i hoped would be a blend of privacy and visibility.

Here are the before and after results;

To say the least i was very impressed with the turn out - Dave had put in between 3-4 hours getting it perfect for me at the same time answering all kinds of ridiculous questions and wives tales about tinting

Furthermore, my rear windshield demister and radio aerial are still fully functional which is a testament to Dave's experience with Jap cars

It was also comforting to know that Dave has been in the business for going on 20 years and is behind all the tinting that goes on in the Top Secret Imports dealership in Blacktown, NSW

Not enough small businesses who are putting out top quality work are being recognized these days and i cannot recommend Dave enough with his talent and perfectionist attitude he puts into his work.

Although he's based in Western Sydney, demand for his work has taken him all over the eastern seaboard doing work for different types of cars

So if you've been putting off that Tint or Wrap on your car be sure to suss him out - he's mobile and works through nights and most weekends which makes it easy for those who work mon-fri 9-5

Just so you all know i'm not affiliated with Dave in anyway, i was just impressed with his workmanship and thought to give him a shoutout for taking good care of my car

Feedback is appreciated Dan :)

The results are stunning and yet don't quite reflect the experience of the expert 'er contortionist.

I presume your were informed of what to clean the windows with and what not to use?

Hope you enjoyed the remainder of the SAU/TSI Tech Night too!

Cheers Terry, btw was also good to meet you at the meet and check out your N1 as well as your son's Nur

actually yeh Dave did say the best way to keep the tint at its best was to just use a damp cloth (just water no glass cleaner) and dry with a mircofibre - using any chemicals on the tint film actually accelerates the breaking down of it because it's pourous (it breathes)

cheers again

demister is in good working order, Dave was aware that it can be a problem sometimes but he managed to work around it. he charges around the $200 mark but i must say he does know his stuff when it comes to using the best materials for the job, not to mention he took a good 3-4 hours to make sure it was to his standards

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
