Had a search, doesn't seem to be any recent threads...

A while ago you guys got a deal of 180-200 dollars for formula 1 plus window tint from camberwell tint-a-car...

I just got quoted $320 to get my R33 done from tint-a-car in formula 1 plus... plus another $55 to remove my existing tint...

Guy said he has a special on at the moment which is giving $100 off, why lie... and when i told him i had my previous car done there, he dropped the price further to $375 including removing existing tint..

seems a bit expensive compared to your $200 from camberwell...

The tint these guys did on my old car was great, never peeled/bubbled in the 4 years i had it, and when someone broke my rear quater, they re-tinted it free... so hence my return business.. just seems a little too expensive...

He said i can have it in dark (20%) medium (35%) or light (??%)...

has anyone else been charged to remove existing tint?

any input ? :)

Dont get that formula 1 shit, its not dark at all.

I got my car done 30% on the sides and 20% on the rear for $250 or so from the sunroof centre in noble park. Comes with lifetime warranty, the top quality tint used and its the same place all the new car dealers use in that area, but they just mark up the price about 300% when you buy a new car and get the optional tint. Tint-a-car will not go that dark without having a winge

Ferni - I asked again about 2 months ago about a group tint at camberwell. They told me it had changed hands also.

I will be taking my car up to the Doncaster tint-a-car, my mechanic knows the owner. My mechanic reckons on around $190 at mates rates - plus around 50 bucks to remove my existing tint.

I have not seen his work, but if it is ok, then I might have a chat to him about an SAU tint day :)

Inasnt negative as always... :)

Tint-A-Car always say they've got a $100 off special on the F1 tint..

Anyway, you might get a good deal if you gather a group of ppl together. In the NSW thread we managed about $160 per car for tinting, with $50 to remove any existing tint.

For the price I got quoted to get F1 on my 33 I got my skyline and my van tinted..and I think it's better than my mate's F1 tint.

Hey ferni, try Premier Tint in Dandenong, I got mine done there. I went the highest quality film called Elite and they also tint a bit darker than legal which is what i went for. The quality is really good and i was really impressed with the service. It's around 300/350 but i got mine done for 250 with two other cars. I've forgotten the guys name but i highly recommend them.

Got my front door windows done @ Premier Dandenong for $70 total - to match up with the "already [dark] tinted in Japan" rear quarters and rear windscreen. Also had another 34 tinted there for the same price ;)

Quality tint, lifetime warranty, great price!!!

At this time of year you should have no hassles getting cheap tint - they all start putting the price up around Spring time...

The jap tint like the tint my friends supra came with is just like limo tint, cant see a farking thing inside from the outside

Yeah I'm a little concerned about mine. I cannot see a thing through the back, and the sides are pretty bad too. I had a mate (a coppa) look at it, said its fine as long as the front windscreen isn't tinted. Reversing is a bitch...

My only issue is that you could not see my P plate through the glass, no matter how hard you looked. I finally got a sticker of a P and stuck in on the back windscreen. Not happy about it, but its only for a few months more and not worth 3 demerit points.

i got my tinted at the group buy. cost me $180 and didnt have to pay to remove the existing tint. mines the 35%, and i cant understand why you would want darker. the stuff on there originally was so dark that i couldnt see a thing when i reversed at night. so i would say forget about the 20% stuff.

The tint-a-car i called said they would do the 20% if i want, my choice.

Ronin 09: when will you be checking out tint-a-car in doncaster?

Sorry about the slow reply, Ferni, I'm in QLD - Noosa :)

My 32R is at the panel shop being straightened out - my mother backed into it - should be back end of the week. Will get a quote from Tint-a-car Doncaster early next week OK?

Cheers

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
