nathan: sounds good.. if u can get an estimate of prices and things that would be good as long as they can do a pro job - i reckon we'd have a few takers in melb. Don't want something that peels off in a year though!

i preferably want legal 'cause i don't want cop issues but of course how do the measure unless it is obviously too dark?? Isn't it 35% allaround?? that is what the ADR regs specify...

i reckon denham's % is a good estimate.. too dark is silly, then you have trouble seeing out.

DJ_L3ThAL - can you get in contact with him as I wanted it done this week. Looking for 20% at rear, and 25-30 on sides and sun strip.. um, do sunroofs get tinted??

INASNT - that price doesnt sound too good. I got my Surf done about 6 months ago. Had 20% on rear (load area) windows and back window, and 30% on side windows and sun strip and that was $270.. Alot more window area than a skyline.

Boxhead got quoted about 180 for his r32 i think at the same time.

5% is too dark. i had it on my old car and it was actually a strain to see out the windows. You WILL get defected / booked for it, and the insurance companies WILL know. You have been warned.

You should get away with 25 all round; thats what i've got now (insant has seen it); it is well dark enough and you can still easily see out at night. If it isn't dark enough, get them to do another layer on the quarter windows.

    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
