Well im interested in all 4 windows :(. You cant get the front and back done correct?

You can tint the back and a small section of the top and bottom of the windscreen.

Premiere seem to be cheap for a reason..... their tint jobs have noticable gaps around the tops of the windows, something so highly cosmetic is worth spending a few extra bucks on to get a good job.

although i wasnt 100% happy (i am very fussy though) with their job, overall people were happy when we organised the group buy...

i have two mates who are interested in a group buy as well, if we can get some sort of numbers (no tyre kickers!) i can call John for you guys...

We've had 3 cars tinted, each by different companies.

In order of preference:

Tint-a-car- good job, the tint has lasted well.

Tint proffessor- got some cut marks on windows (external), possibly caused by blades while they were measuring/cutting film?

Premiere- gappy, wouldn't go back to them, and they do sedans for $100, hardly worth organising a group buy when you can get it that cheap.

Cool, so has anyone picked a date and a place for this group tint a car?

John from Premier Mitcham organised for us last time the highest quality tint that yhey have (about $400 i think) for $145 for the 35% for the coupes, about $30 or so more for the 4 doors...

most of us got 35% in the front and the 20% on the rears, which makes it legal, for $175 for the coupes..my mates s15 and mine turned out very good, only very faint couple of marks, and a few very small bubles at the rear that cant really be seen...as i said earlier i am very fussy...

so i think Premier tint was good to us, other people please post your thoughts on your tint job from the last group tint..

Hey SKY031

Thanks for keeping this on the agenda.

Just to let people know... I don't have anything to do with organising this... i was just throwing out a few personal opinions in an attempt to help people make an informed decision with their final choice of company.

  • 5 weeks later...

i had an Audi done on tuesday and asked John if i could send more members down...

as long as you tell John you are from SAU he will give the group buy discount...

just thought some opf you might still be interested...

  • 2 weeks later...

hey brett, are you still using the F1 tint that tint-a-car uses, or something different now?

had F1 on my old car and couldn't fault it....now i've got the 33 with some real dark (love it) japanese tint, but its not the best job...

Hey guys, Bret Wines from Vip window tinting came around this morning to tint my 33. I am happy as with the job, makes a massive difference.

He uses quality tint that F1 use. He does lexus, volvo and even Ford cars. Going just by that you can tell he is very very good at what he does.

Just lettin you know he did a kick ass job, $150 cant go wrong. Even got a lifetime warranty. His num is 0419515511 if your interested.

Ill post pics up later today.

Cheers,

Mark.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
