Hey Guys/Girls :O

New Skyline owner here, just got an r33 GTS-T S1, and the tint that came with the car has bubbles and crap in it :(

I've removed the old tint, and now I need to find out where to get the best tint job done ^_^.

So, where is the best place to get window tinting done in Canberra?

Thanks in advance! :ermm:

Just had mine done at Instant tint yesterday.

I had tint on there - whilst good application - dickson didn't like it, only 16% light passthrough.

I had the old stuff removed and new stuff (35%) put on for $420.

Also - tell them NOT to put a sticker on your car... ffs.

I own a Turbo-Charged, Japanese Imported Vehicle with a 3 inch exhaust, Mag wheels and tail-lights that are almost instantly recognisable from a very long way away.

Why the f**k do i need any more help in getting "random" police license inspections?

I had the tint removed as well at the same time.

Apparently it was "premium 35% tint" so says the invoice here anyway - it was a good job, just slightly expensive - but time was of the essence (most places had a 3 or 4 week waiting period).

I agree 420 sounds a little high, i also need to get windows tinted but i thought id be no more then 250 - am I right or wrong, how much is it for decent tine, how much did you pay?

Just putting tint on was $275.

Like i said - i had tint removed at the same time - properly (all the glue etc came off), to remove the existing tint was $145.

sorry to revive old thread.

but im in the same boat...my r33 seems to have factory tint (very light) and i want to remove it and re-tint darker at some stage.

Is it worth removing the tint myself?? (just a bit worried about the rear window and the therm lines).

I got quoted $120 xtra for removing tint.

just to input my 2c ..

went to autoTint in Fyshwick today, and they refused to do my car as they do not pull tint off. They only put it on. So if your after tint to be removed as well as put on, dont go to them.

I looked around at tints and 250 was a common price for the standard grey/black tint.

I was interested in the pure black onex type tint at solartint in Fyshwick. Most professional places do a good job but there's so many different tints I found it very difficult in choosing.

PS I’m getting tinting (legal) done soon. Any suggestions on type and why it’s better than others would be appreciated.

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
