Hi guys

Just wondering what peoples experience with window tinting has been in Brissy? I'm looking into getting tints for my R34 coupe and wondering what others have paid? I am in Toowoomba but would make the trip for a reasonably priced and good quality outfit in brissy.

Cheers

they charge by the cars size no what car it is...

ie. a small hatch is cheaper than a sedan, which in turn is cheaper than an SUV/4WD...

so they charge a coupe the same as a sedan as it has similar sizes windows...

start at like $199, go up to about $399 depending on what you want...

will need to leave it with them for 3-4hours, good bit about strathpine is there is a cinema right across the road...

so drop it off and go watch a movie, done!

I'm looking for this at the moment.

My mechanic said during this time of the year (colder/winter) you should be able to negotiate a $100 for a decent and good tint - That is if you are willing to ring around and get them to compete.

My brother got his CLK done about a year ago with really nice tint for around $150... they originally quoted him $350 until he called around and got them competing.

So I might start tomorrow and call around - See what I can do (r34 as well).

I'll let you know how I go - Would be good if you can let me know what you come up with as well.

Are you looking in twmba or brissy? If you can get it for $150 i'll make the trip. Perhaps they will do us a deal for 2

Hey Clint, give Peter Steer a ring. He does tinting up here in Toowoomba. We use him at work when we replace glass and it needs to be tinted.

Also had a chat to one of the painters about your rims, he said he charges around $250 to paint them if they have been prepped if not around the $300-$350

What sort of money does Peter steer charge, Chris?

Its definitely an option, Richie. If you get a quote that is cheap enough I would be keen.

Not really sure I'll ask the guys at work tomorrow who have him do their cars what it cost them

Hey Clint,

Just got this reply via email

"Not a worry mate, if both cars are done at the same time, you will be looking at $400 for both.. Providing no existing film has to be stripped"

This is from "Show off ya tints".

If we go in together its $400 for both.

He has also said, if by any chance we do get a cheaper quote, he will see if he can match and beat it.

My 34 has an in-glass tint. It's very light. I'm assuming this is what you have

    • True, might get it looked at. Found out you can in fact flatten the 12v battery relatively easily too the other day (kids lefts the hazards on) so meaning to get that checked in the new year. What's odd is it'll blow cold from both vents if you have the ac down as low as poss (18), but anything else the passenger one blows warmish. Also has been summer since I got it obvs but noticed it didn't seem to want to blow hot last night when we had a cold snap. 
    • You ask for things. You specifically state you want responsiveness. A link was provided for a far superior, more responsive option. Find a MX5 workshop that will install it for you. Maybe MX5 Mania will throw on the Fab9 kit. It seems they want to charge almost 14K installed for their kit, so if they charge you $6K to install the FAB9 kit then you'll be ahead? Though really, the 2.5 with a 2860 running low boost will more or less feel as good as anything else. It's a lot of displacement and a small turbo. Think of a more modern RB26 with one stock turbo :p TBH, truth be told I've been driving my own car, and use about 50% throttle at most for 99.9% of the time. Mr Bogan is likely similar so this is all going to be semantics for the use case he actually has. (He'll be happy with anything relative to now) However, the EFR is hands down far superior in this use case. You really, really, really, really do notice it over the Garrett or equivalent.  
    • You are correct, the earlier the torque, the earlier things snap
    • Gents, it will be getting the MX5 Mania kit and the 2.5 will be staying where it is My query was about the 0.64 or the 0.86, whilst the 0.64 might spool a bit faster, would the 0.86 be better IRT EGT and mechanical sympathy, with only a small difference in spool And as I assume I won't need alot of boost to get to 200kw, probably around 10 psi, and with max rpm at 6500, would high EGT even really be a issue with a 0.64 I'm heading into MX5 Mania at the end of Jan to discuss the install, so any info is welcome prior to that Basically have a chat and book a time so they can throw on the turbo kit, and fit a oil cooler with a thermostat, drive in drive out of course  In other news: just finished cleaning the car inside and out, it's now all ready to get covered in bugs and dirt driving to Goulburn tomorrow to lunch,  and go for a stroll along woolondilly River with the daughter and her boy, and of course, visit my grandcats and my new grandpuppy 
    • Sounds like it has an actual problem with mode select doors, or something.
