Hi All,

After recommendations of people to do window tinting to my car and also rust repairs and proofing?

Seen 2 companies so far, Tinting Solutions and Tint A Car, both at Albion

$300 cash for Tint a Car and yet to get price for other mob.

Other mob are also doing rust proofing(EndRust agent) to a bit of surface rust on under body, he said he will spray it with a rust kill product which oxidizes the rust, then brush loose and clean up and coat several times with a wax/lacquer style paint to seal it. For a GTR r33.

Advice on procedure for rust proofing that will be quoted? and further recommendations if in the know of any others would be appreciated?

Cheers

obviously, I cant tell you where to go.

but one thing to consider....

the base colour of the tint.

I have seen, blue, green, brown, grey and red.

mate got tint on a cx7, has a very slight green tinge to it.

the wifes mazda 3 has a grey base.

this is my preference, so id pay extra.

just something you may not have thought about.

Thought about trying it yourself?

eBay has tint rolls for under $100 and the application kits for 20ish

Killing surface rust - depending how deep, use kill rust then spray over with underbody spray i would have thought

Ended up getting tintmart, good bloke was a bit more than other places but a higher quality more heat Reducing tint too. Got a product same as POR 15 but slightly cheaper for the rust issues. Cheers for input from those who did!

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
