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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
