Well.. the time has come. I have to tint my car. I've looked at TKO tinting (www.tkotinting.com) and theres some real nice examples there.

The guy who does it (trent) said its around $275-$295 for 20% black or 35%, or a fading black to silver reflective is about $375.

question 1 - legalities of it. Whats the chances a cop will pull me up for reflective or 20% tint, if any1 has had experiences.. do tell

question 2 - has any1 had there car done by TKO, and is he any good

At the moment im thinking reflective like this one. (possibly not as much reflective)

i must say you cant go wrong with 20% normal tint, not reflective however. i'v only ever had a few comments from police about the tinting but none of them really cared (only the fact that you couldn't see my p plates)

Trent from TKO tinted my car and i have nothing by praise. he did a great job at a good price. i highly recommend him

okay i have had my car tinted by Trent at TKO... he did a great job and good price. (i got mine done b4 he started getting really well known, now his prices are higher LOL)

anyways, i got the 20% reflective film (as displayed on his website, my car is actually in the gallery section there... wine red with 20% reflective... think its the only one there... or used to be last time i checked)

ANYWAYS he is a good bloke, and its good tint, no trouble with coppers, but everytime i go through an RBT i make sure both windows are down b4 i get there... just in case :rofl:

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
