Any place can do an illegal tint on the car for you. YOu just wont receive any warranty or receipt for the work. If your car is a coupe get the driver and passenger window a legal limit, Then you can get every other window (rear quarter windows and rear window) as dark as you want legally. Thats how i had it on my r33 and you still atleast have a warranty and no excuse for the insurance company not to pay you out if you have an accident. Stupid as it sounds they can refuse to pay up if your window tint is too dark :|

now why would u want an illegal tint? Just do a legal one and be happy...its just another thing the cops will defect you for in the future.

Have have done a few tint jobs at Premier Tint in Nunawading..they seem to be good. All my tints have lasted and been of high quality.

In fact I was going to take the R33 down there this week if they are open...

is that a backyard job or what? good quality etc etc?

Doesnt really remember if its a backyard job or not.. It all depends on their experince and whether they know if they are doing it properly or not. Got mine done in this guys house, not only it was half the price but the job was done better than most of the tint places.

I posted up as a suggestion, I have my R33 done there as well!

Well said buddy. The guy works for a major car manufacturer. and yes, he does it at his place. The job was well done IMHO.

I can see the tendancy to want to go illegal. Both my cars have had tint darker than the legal limit. 35% is really not dark at all, in the pic above of the white 33 its really the angle that makes the 35's look kinda dark there, in real life they will just look like a camry tint.

I have 5% on my car at the moment on all the windows (my choice so don't try and tell me how silly it is as i have heard it all before from others who don't have the tint) and it really does look quite good. Not as hard to see out of as everyone makes out, i even still have the optioned rear blind in my car ( Broad daylight and no chance of seeing through the back from outside :( ) Reversing in side streets at night can be a bit of a problem though :ninja: ah well its the price you pay i guess for a stealthier look. (keeps the car nice and cool on the inside too :mad: ) 20% is a good medium, noticably darker than the 35's whilst not looking super illegal or too hard to drive with at night.

Just so you are aware, 35% is the maximum legal darkness on all windows including rear ones.

Check out vicroads for more info

"All windows of a motor vehicle, other than windscreens available to the driver to obtain a view of the road or other road users must have a light transmittance of at least 35 per cent...", it then mentions that its desirable windows to the side and ahead of the driver are not reduced below 70% transmittance, and another section on windscreens say it can only be tinted during manufacturing.

If this rule is 35% tint all round then there would be a lot of vans and other cars been defected for the black tint that you cannot see through?

Regards,

Gareth

Can someone please clarify the above?

Is the rear windscreen not a window that the driver uses to obtain a view of the road (trying to understand the tinting laws)?

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
