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

    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
