Tint a car do Midnight Express, which apparently is the darkest legal tinting option! Heard good things about it.

Before Steve gets in, i think Ric from Auto Perfection does it too :D

no its not on the 2 front windows - i found out the hard way can be 35% all round but the front windows - no more than 70%

Cara is right i have the widow tinting brochure that i got when my car was being inspected.

Taken from the brochure:

The driver and passenger windows must have a luminous transmittance of at least 70%

The windows behind the driver must have a luminous transmittance of at least 35% unless they are interior windows

The inspector had a good look at the windows in the stag when i was there on Wednesday.

Umm all these damm rules. :D why can't things be simple.

Thank you for the suggestions. All windows bar the front two are done, the rears do look fairly dark though.

So possibly 70% fronts??

As Andrew has said you can't go past that QFM pads, I'm using the A1RM pads, they have unbelievable cold bite (I seriously couldn't believe it), and i have used them at Mallala and pulling low 1:20's and for 15 minutes and never had any fade. Also done 2 modern Reg' events and i still have another 2 days left in the pads, that's with a few hills runs as well.

They have a 1/2 price rears deal (through GSR RallySport, who's a trader on here) as well and i got free postage as well so that's front and rear 780 degree pads for $190 posted.

Im pretty sure the QFM's are not available for skylines atm. They wont have any for about 3-4 weeks :D

My fronts where nearly as dark as the back window on the Stag but i had to rip it cos i got defected, but i'll get them done to match the rears again cos legal tint will look to see though compared to the privacy glass.

70% to be legal, darker if you want to risk being defected.

so, had a bit of trouble moving my seat rail back and forward.

solution, absolutely packed it full of some random loctite grease. (i lol'd at loctite making a product designed to stop shit sticking)

still a bit firm, but whatever, probably just the rails expanded a little when they were being welded and bound up a tiny bit. no biggie, much easier to move than it was.

lol at passed out little guy

off to melbourne tomorrow morning to buy a yellow 02 ford escape for $5999

paid $500 and $90 for air flight. got unrego vehicle permit to drive it back

need to grab 2 tyres in melbourne, fill her up, then drive back.

long day tomorrow me thinks

    • Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points? 
    • I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.  
    • Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?
    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
