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.

Tinted:

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

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
