yeah I've heard the same about sunroofs, somethign to do with the UV treated glass already being put in, so it blocks most of the UV rays and is factory tinted

not sure about it cracking though :S never seen it crack, it just looks ultra crap when they are tinted beyond the factory spec

yeah i got the same thing when i got my tint put on. asked for really dark tint on the sunroof and got, "we cant tint sunroofs because they crack and even shatter when they are heated." something to do with them being tempered glass i think.

"the best for lesser dont go to the tint molester" he took out my 6x9's then aparently didnt have a drill so he couldnt put them back in!?!? so i had to go back and get them put in from another place out my my pocket then go back to tint professor to get my money back, after waiting for 50 minutes for the guy to come down and talk to me he finally gave me a check. after this i was really pissed off.

i spose in the end it was okay because they did do a good job but they could have called me and told me they needed to take them out, also the bosses manner was really rude to me and my family when he rocked up at my place, he was just a cockey loud f**kwit. he left the courtesy car at my house and never gave me any keys so wtf was with that? i would never go back. i think he is on cocaine. he also started to bag out my friend infront of me even though i called up and said i have a reference from him so aparently i got it cheaper. a complete dick dont go to them. he also never called me when the job was complete i called him up and he said it was done 2 hours earlier!?!??

my car came with death black import tint, you couldnt see out it especially at night it was a death trap. i got the second most darkest tint and it is perfect, il post some pics up if you want.

Of course you can tint a sunroof. just cos it's safety or not, privacy glass or not, who cares. If it's smooth, it can be tinted.

This girl at uni had her sunroof tinted. She was driving along one day and out of nowhere her whole sunroof shattered on top of her.

wow that would have made someone have to change there undies. It is strange because the sunroof glass always seems to be the most dirtiest and also the hardest to clean? is this because it is diffrent type of glass than the windows all together?

I think what the tinters are saying is that the sunroof might shatter while they're tinting it.

They have to use a heat gun to heat shrink the tint so it sits down properly on the curved glass. If they accidently use too much heat (which can happen) it might push the glass beyond the max temp it can withstand and crack or even break with the slightest amount of pressure, like when opening or closing the sunroof. It's possible the integrity of the glass might also be affected thereafter if the glass has been heated way over what it can withstand... with an outcome similar to what kryzsiu posted.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      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?”
