Hey all,

Went along to the Top Secret Imports Info & Tech night few weeks back as a friend of mine was hoping to learn a bit more about the bits and bobs of our world - (info and pics here http://forum.jdmstyl...orts-14-04-2012)

They were doing various giveaways for the attendees and we ended up scoring a free window tint session with Dave @ Customworx

I had initially put off getting my car tinted as i didn't want any of the hassles that came with it ie. bubbles, creases, scratching from the window roller etc... , but after a long and im sure annoying phone call with Dave i felt somewhat at ease to bring it over to have the work done

We ended up deciding to go with a 20% darkness all round which i hoped would be a blend of privacy and visibility.

Here are the before and after results;

To say the least i was very impressed with the turn out - Dave had put in between 3-4 hours getting it perfect for me at the same time answering all kinds of ridiculous questions and wives tales about tinting

Furthermore, my rear windshield demister and radio aerial are still fully functional which is a testament to Dave's experience with Jap cars

It was also comforting to know that Dave has been in the business for going on 20 years and is behind all the tinting that goes on in the Top Secret Imports dealership in Blacktown, NSW

Not enough small businesses who are putting out top quality work are being recognized these days and i cannot recommend Dave enough with his talent and perfectionist attitude he puts into his work.

Although he's based in Western Sydney, demand for his work has taken him all over the eastern seaboard doing work for different types of cars

So if you've been putting off that Tint or Wrap on your car be sure to suss him out - he's mobile and works through nights and most weekends which makes it easy for those who work mon-fri 9-5

Just so you all know i'm not affiliated with Dave in anyway, i was just impressed with his workmanship and thought to give him a shoutout for taking good care of my car

Feedback is appreciated Dan :)

The results are stunning and yet don't quite reflect the experience of the expert 'er contortionist.

I presume your were informed of what to clean the windows with and what not to use?

Hope you enjoyed the remainder of the SAU/TSI Tech Night too!

Cheers Terry, btw was also good to meet you at the meet and check out your N1 as well as your son's Nur

actually yeh Dave did say the best way to keep the tint at its best was to just use a damp cloth (just water no glass cleaner) and dry with a mircofibre - using any chemicals on the tint film actually accelerates the breaking down of it because it's pourous (it breathes)

cheers again

demister is in good working order, Dave was aware that it can be a problem sometimes but he managed to work around it. he charges around the $200 mark but i must say he does know his stuff when it comes to using the best materials for the job, not to mention he took a good 3-4 hours to make sure it was to his standards

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
