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

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
