well i dunno.. i think the best thing is to say, unless you can make it for the whole day, and its too inconvenient...then organise to do it in your own time. It might cost you $300 but money is convenience

I think the whole idea is just to get everybody together when its convenient for the whole day and make a bit of a social thing out of it as well. If you are prepared to wait around the whole day, then you'll get the group discount. If not, do it on your own time and pay slightly more.

well Al coz your working u can jump in 2nd but the rest of yas i really dont wanna set exact times its just easier running it first in first dressed, i dont care when i go ill be there all day, i never put stress on anyone doing anything to my car coz i want the job done properly, even if they run out of time ill come back next day if the job will be done better, i think u guys would have the same mentality as me, we all own skylines :) but yes im sticking with R31Nismoids idea offirst in except for the guy who has to be first (as arranged previously and Al who's on call) otherwise its just random :D seeyas saturday boys

DJ thanks for the offer, but we shall stick to what is fair for all (apart from the guy who asked to be first), so if ppl arrive b4 i will be more than happy to get the car done after theirs.

I too want a TOP CLASS job done to my car and do not wish to rush anyone, hope that 11 cars in 8hrs isn't going to result in sub standard work, but the finish should be fully garanteed against bubbling, peeling and workmanship.

I am going to carefully remove my rear seats and parcel shelf b4 i get there, as i don't want them to "accedently" damage or scratch the car. Does any other trim needs to be removed? This will also save them alot of time, thus taking a little more care on applying the tint.

I found out last night that the winter season of tennis starts this saturday :< i'm going to ask a mate at school tomorrow to fill in for me but if he is busy then the earliest i'll be able to get there is about 1:00. Would this be ok?

also, will i need to remove the parcel shelf (have stock speaker covers)?

cheers,

Greg

DJ,

Can you do us another small favour and ask the guys at Tint-a-car what they remove out of the car to tint the windows.

ie:Parcel shelf, rear seats, door trims, trim around rear quarter windows, etc.

As i would like (and i am sure a couple other people may feel the same) to take these items out slowly and carefully myself.

Thanks BUDDY for your patience

Alan

yup i will, i know for sure they need to get their hands and a sqeegy (however u spell it) on every window they do to each edge so for most of us that means parcel shelf has gotta go out, im taking that at least out before the day but ill find out what else, i'd assume they would need to remove everything else unless the tint on the side windows extends below the sealinto thew door (but i dont see why if ya dont see it why would they waste their time taking the doors apart) nevertheless i will enquire

my soarer is being tinted right now - he needed to take of door trims and window surrounds so he could get right down the glass. Also will need to take off rear parcel shelf because the rear brake light is in the way. I think on the 33, you shouldnt have a problem with parcel shelf, but would bet you will need to take of door skins.

OK decided to remove all trim around glass. This is what i done:

-Rear seats

-Parcel shelf

-Rear speakers

-Rear arm rest panels

-Rear side/roof panels (the ones that go round the triangular windows.

To be done soon:

-Front door trims

-Front speakers

All these thing were relatively easy to remove and only took me 2hrs with alot of care.

Its hard to get the rear seat without scratching your rear side trims as u get the bottom part of the seat out.. Mine have a few skuff marks now as i've done it a few times. For those doing it I recommend you place a blanket or rag over that area to prevent this.. just take care.

Personally I am taking out rear seat.. parcel shelf and i gotta rip my old tint off the quarters (i think they might have been done factory). Door trims are 5 min job if u know how to do it.

I am sure they can do it so I wouldn't worry about that too much

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
