Well.. the time has come. I have to tint my car. I've looked at TKO tinting (www.tkotinting.com) and theres some real nice examples there.

The guy who does it (trent) said its around $275-$295 for 20% black or 35%, or a fading black to silver reflective is about $375.

question 1 - legalities of it. Whats the chances a cop will pull me up for reflective or 20% tint, if any1 has had experiences.. do tell

question 2 - has any1 had there car done by TKO, and is he any good

At the moment im thinking reflective like this one. (possibly not as much reflective)

i must say you cant go wrong with 20% normal tint, not reflective however. i'v only ever had a few comments from police about the tinting but none of them really cared (only the fact that you couldn't see my p plates)

Trent from TKO tinted my car and i have nothing by praise. he did a great job at a good price. i highly recommend him

okay i have had my car tinted by Trent at TKO... he did a great job and good price. (i got mine done b4 he started getting really well known, now his prices are higher LOL)

anyways, i got the 20% reflective film (as displayed on his website, my car is actually in the gallery section there... wine red with 20% reflective... think its the only one there... or used to be last time i checked)

ANYWAYS he is a good bloke, and its good tint, no trouble with coppers, but everytime i go through an RBT i make sure both windows are down b4 i get there... just in case :rofl:

      App to track mods, repairs etc.

      By cardre · Posted

      Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know about an app I use to track the modifications, repairs, servicing etc I do to my R33 GTR. You might like to use it as well. I'm biased because my son just wrote and released it! But I think you might find it useful to... https://trackmymods.com

      Hey everyone, been on here for a while, but never introduced myself before. 1st import was a R32 GTS Type M, then R33 GTS, now R33 GTR - each one sold to help pay for the next one. Over the years my son has seen me modify and do changes to my imports and was one of the reasons for him to build an app for car enthusiasts like us. (He can only afford a 2007 Honda at the moment, but he'll get there!) Anyway, bit of a proud Dad moment as he's released an app that I use and you all might like to as well. https://trackmymods.com

      It will sound tragic and you wished you didn't have 1x exhaust per turbo. There's a reason why most S55 owners change to a single mid pipe.

      Echo the comments about the well preserved condition it's in. It has the aero bumper too for extra points. Nice car, and please keep it like that! 🙂

      1. There are no real performance benefits. It sounds different, and as the pipes are not as large diameter you can claw back some undercar clearance or run lower (if that's your thing). 2. Twin pipes, offering exactly the same cross sectional area as a single pipe** will have higher pressure drop - so will not flow as well. That's because there is more surface area of wall per cross sectional pipe area, hence more frictional losses. ** But of course, it is almost impossible to get 2 pipes that are exactly the same XS area as a given typical single pipe. eg, 2x2" is not the same as 1x 3", although it is close. If the 2x pipes add up to less XS area than the single - it will just be flat out worse. If the 2x pipes add up to a bit more than the single, then it might come out as a wash. If the 2x pipes are substantially more XS area than the single, then it will probably flow a little better. 3. No. Why would there be? What have cats got to do with boost creep?*** ***But for f**ks' sake, please run a cat. 4. If you want.
