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

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
