mzgtst - sorry I missed you out - you are on the list now

raz0r - mate we are gonna get a good deal with 23 cars ! :(

 

CS_180 - 1996 I understand

 

Jimbo - see my thoughts below

 

MrExa - darkest tint is 5% - way illegal , SAU don't condone this, but he will do it :spank:

 

Oh and I think mirror tint is available too - I'll check it out.

 

The place is in Nth Ryde / Ryde area - but there is another location too - and also he has a mobile service - obvioulsy cheaper if we go to him -  

 

My Skyline took about 1 hr and I waited and chatted to him whilst he did it - Nice guy.

 

OK - this is way more popular than I thought it would be - 23 cars - Which is a good thing.

 

First I thought we could organise a day where we could all go down at a pre-arranged and scheduled times - but since we now have 23 interested cars, I dont think this will be possible

 

So...

 

I will propose that we do like a voucher type system.

 

I will go to him and get prices for the group buy -  

 

If the price is good and you guys are still keen, you get the $$ to the tint ppl  OR me (if you trust me :) ) and I'll go down and get 23 (or whatever) vouchers that will entitle you to get your tint done on the vehicle specified. I'll see that the certificates are valid for like 30-45 days - so you all have a month or so to book in a time and day to get your tint done.

 

If this is all agreeable - then I'll take expressions of interest and payments for 2 weeks then close the deal.

 

After the 2 weeks I'll get all the certificates and mail them to you.

 

I'll get details of the tints and types of films available when I negotiate the deal.

 

BTW - I will be pushing for an EXTRA discount for SAU-NSW members - there may be an extra saving of $20 or something there.

 

So if you want to join the club - do so now and we'll see if we can get an extra heavy duty good deal for you !

 

Anyway - they are my thoughts - it may change after I speak to them....

I can trust you moite

quality work sunshine

Yeah, I think it would be infintely easier to get all the money to B-Man and he can sort it out...

Otherwise we have to rely on people calling the tinter with their details and blah blah blah... Too hard basket. It'll take too long.

Cool - that's 25 cars.

I'll be calling around tomorrow. So I'll post back when I get some number$.

Yeah - I mentioned getting $$ to the tinter guy - incase some folks didn't trust me for whatever reason.

I would agree though that if you all got your $$ to me , it would be administratvely easier all round. So I think we'll go this way - You guys should all know me by now to know that I won't skip the country...

justinfox - I don't think we will be ready for you mate - sorry - So I see that you have two choices - keep the Solace appt - or cancel it and wait for us. Depends what you want to do - BTW Nice car - I saw the pics in your wheels for sale thread - Nice wheels too - I wish I could afford them , they would look hot on my Silver R33. - Sorry, I digress. Whoreing my own threadi WTF :(

Ok peeps - stay tuned ! :)

Guys - you can still get in on this if you want (of course depending on pricing)

OK - I spoke to my guy today.

Tosh - He can do a secure tint film - but it has limitations in terms of shades - ie he can't do super super (5%) tints - only 38% (darkest legal).

Yes - he can do Mirror Tint for rear quaters etc

What we need to do now is complile a list of who wants what and more importantly if there is existing tint on your car.

They do 38% (Darkest Legal), 28%, 18% & 5% - Cybertint range (ie More matt black than shiny)

Also - 38% & 15% in the Quantum Range (more refelective than Cybertint)

I have 18% (Cybertint) on my R33 if anyone has seen it - for a comparison.

All film is Metal Film

All film has a lifetime warranty.

I now need to get him a list - and he will give me a price.

Post back here if you already have tint - and/or you have any special requirements. (eg Secure Film or Reflective Tint)

b man, sorry to be difficult, but id like to know the difference between the matt blackand the shiny prices, 38% only, for a VN commodore. you can put me down for all windows (bar the front), 38%, now its just a matter of pricing to decide which type

i have no issues with pre-payment either (esp as it seems there is not much that ure new car still needs :)

thanks bman

ive changed mine to 18%...i thought 38 was darker then 5....wrong direction

I think the prices are the same - just the finish is different.

I'll be getting prices ASAP. I'll try to get photos too.

But since prices may be the same - you can decide on the day.

Cool. How dark is 18%? Is that like limo spec? I want mine pretty dark :wassup: and legality is not my prime concern. Protecting my skin, security, and looks are my main issues. :)

I currently have tint on my rear quarter windows only. Only thing is, I am going over-seas on 31st of this month so mid-late feb will be the only time I can do this. Is that ok?

Thanks B-man.

Richard

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
