Hi Guys and Gals...

Just wondering... as we all know the stageas already have the dark coloured glass from the rear passanger back... obviously its worth tinting the front 2 windows plus the strip across the windscreen, but what I am wondering is it worth tinting the other windows???

I guess my question is... Is the dark glass only stopping the light or does it stop the UV also???

Thanks

MrGTST

my car has the factory 'privacy glass'. I had the front door windows tinted by sol ace in their 'midnight' spec film to get the match as close as possible.

with one of those folding reflective shields put on the inside of the windscreen,my car stays cool all day long when parked in the sun,so the factory tint has to be keeping the UV out.

Yep, MrGTST, the privacy glass is UV-reflective. Even the lower-spec Stageas (X- and G-spec, which I don't think we even get here, if they're even eligible under SEVS) have UV-cut glass.

AFAIK, most, if not all, cars would have UV-cut glass if they were built in the last, maybe, 15 years. Someone may be able to shed some more light (hahaha) on this...

Hey i've had my Stagea(WGNC34) for three years now, bought privately and havn't had an issue with it at all. Obviously i have had it registered twice and has passed every time without fail.

Untill this year, my rego had been cancelled for an unpaid fine of witch i was unaware i had. So i needed to get a blue slip for the car and was told the car could not pass due to having illegally dark tint on the car.

Later when i had a mobile tint company come to the car and was informed that it was not tint on the car but was privacy glass and he could not do anything about it at the time, i had no idea what privacy glass was at this stage. I went back to the mechanic that inspected my car for the blue slip and explained it was privacy glass and not tine, and he told me that he could not pass it due to the numbers on the glass not matching up with the numbers in RAWS (the department that had this car imported).

I have called RAWS to see if they can help me out but i havn't herd back yet, has anyone ever had this or even heard of this happening to them. And if so can i get advice on what to do now.

In australia a wagon is classified as a Comercial vehicle (kind of). This means that it doesn't matter what happens behind the b pillar. You could paint them black and still be legal. The front windows need to comply with the standard 30% tint or whatever the percentage is they allow.

There is no clear glass option available for the Stagea when it comes to replacement glass in the windows back from the B pillar.

Obtain the Part Number for the glass, and show this to your mechanic; or disregard him, and go see someone who has experience with imports, not Datsun 200b's with rust repairs.

Do you have a reference for that?

Normally a commercial vehicle such as a van or its costs more to register.

Google that shit Ben, loading zone parking is the best.

Unfortunately most people (including police) don't know their parking laws well enough. You may still cop a ticket but no need to pay it as legally you can park there (15min). It's well documented.

I had no idea about this one; how awesome.

Loading zone
Only drivers of vehicles principally constructed for carrying goods may park their vehicle in a loading zone.
These vehicles may stop for up to 30 minutes if they are being loaded or unloaded.
A station wagon or a three-wheeled goods vehicle may stop for up to 15 minutes.
If you are driving any other sort of vehicle you may only stop to pick up or set down passengers at the kerb.
Hours of operation may apply to some signs. This means restrictions apply for those times only.

This is one of the reasons I own wagons. Very handy when you need to quickly grab something in the CBD

I was gonna go a 3 wheel goods vehicle, but they are hard to come by

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
