lol yeh i do it looks awesome... how ever i dont have the front windscreen tinted, that is illegal... as for the fronts i have been told they are illegal tho i have never had troubles from the cops, despite being defected on numerous occassions they havent noticed the window tints... also mine are 15% which are illegal too :mellow: i rekon do it coz it looks good

G'day, The day we picked our stagea up from the gold coast we had the front door windows tinted at Tint.a.car, Wurtulla, on sunshine coast. We had them use 'Formula 1', the best UV but second darkest tint. I believe the next darker tint was still legal.

Terminal, i knows, but its not smoked, its "UV cut glass"

Could be the same thing though hehe :(

Thats what i ment by, it came like that factory

I personally like the untinted front windows, make the car look PIMP/VIP, the way i like it

After having my celsior with a blacked out rear window, i will never have a car with illegal tinted rear/front windscreens!

35% is legal on front door windows. And ofcoarse it is illegal to tint the front windscreen.

On my old Stagea I tinted my front door windows to 20% (illegal, but seriously, what kinda cop is gonna do you for that) (besides apparently with their light tester thingy it comes up as 27% or something anyway, so you can just say it must've had a slight standard tint when you got them done to 35% :()

Anyhow, I got my old Stag's fronts done to 20% to match the rears and it matched perfectly, never had any trouble with the law and it cost me $100 at Mastertint (perfect job). Its generally $100 plus or minus a bit depending on the company.

Techo, Havn't got a pic to post at moment. Can take one if u would like. I see SAM112 posted a pic that looked like it has a matching shade on the front doors, ours doesn't match but I think it is a good shade considering it is legal!.

Our S1 seems to have 3 levels of window colour;

1. The front windscren is clear, although is does have some heat rejection.

2. The front doors and rear screen are slightly tinted.

3. The rear doors and rear sides are heavily tinted.

I am going to cut that down to 2 levels by getting the front doors and rear screen tinted to match the rear doors and rear sides. Based on experience with other cars, even when that is done, the front doors will still appear lighter tint than the rears due to the extra light coming in throught the untinted front screen. This "apparent" difference seems to have been enough to avoid "issues" in the past.

:) cheers :D

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
