You reckon it was that good Col-GTSX ? Got a pic ?

Yeah im happy with it, i mean it provides a nice look to the car and reduces the heat very well then on the inside on has the slightest tint looking out...

So its sorta the best of both worlds, looks heavy and dark outside and nice and light on the inside...

It covers me needs and im very happy with the tint...

PS> My cameras are at work, but ill get a pic soon...

Col where did you get it done and how much did it cost you? Do you have contact info for "Tint Mart" ??

There is about a dozen tint marts round SEQ and NSW.

www.tintmart.com.au

I went to strathpine as it was closest to me.

Cost was $350, called around and none of them were willing to do it any cheaper as they are the exclusive agents in Australia for this film...

(I actually paid $330 as i had a discount voucher from the last car i had them tint for me)

Darkest legal tint is actually not as dark as you would expect. It's very easy to see through and at night its not *that* difficult to see through but it certainly makes things harder.

My skyline has what I *think* is factory darkened glass (or is it tint), under Victorian laws its ok if its factory (rear windscreen and the quarter panels (I think thats there name, the ones behind the passenger/driver side windows).

Also under Victorian law the tint is supposed to be the same % all round, I had a lot of tinter's tell me otherwise. Vicroads has this info, I assume there is an equivalent in Queensland :)

Good luck.

Im not saying its a good thing or if its a bad thing.

i have not had any issues with tint @ all.

i have 16% light tint on my skyline.... it looks shit hot @ day... at night its difficult to drive thats for sure...

I always have windows open in my car for personal preference.. i like the wind.

I personally have not been pulled over once.. possibly as my windows are always down.. and i have had insurance claims made for my car, in which the windows did not have any effect on my claim.

I can tell you, getting the 16% tint was cheaper for me than getting legal tint.

Also since my car is black, and has very black tint.. it looks shit hot ;)

      Good to hear. Hopefully you're happy enough not to notice when driving and just enjoy yourself.

      I mean, most of us just love cars. Doesnt necessarily have to be a skyline.

      Did you pick up a manual cluster to remove the position indicator?  (Pretty sure the 34 has the gear position in the cluster, but it's been a while)

      Here is a recipe. Sonic blocks till you get one that has a good enough bore. Get a torque plate and block brace, use your choice of fasteners (arp ect) bolt the thing together empty, half fill it and let it cure. Release it when it has, go to a REPUTABLE RB Builder and get the thing line bored/honed and cylinder honed to size, then wash. Once its all clean and dandy, wash and blow it out again. Then again.  Assemble said engine to your desired clearances with oil control mods, gasket to suit desired CR/Squish ect. Attach your extended sump with proper trap door oil baffles and head drain plumbed to sump with a SUMP BREATHER SYSTEM. Build your front diff with a decent LSD, rebuild your transfer case with a few extra plates, more than likely replace your tailshaft centre bearing and tighten up the rear diff. Tune to minimise excessive midrange cylinder pressure (timing unless you like to split bores and rebuild engines) Enjoy your engine, but hate the fact you are now destroying engine mounts, gearboxes, gearbox mounts, diff output flanges and driveshafts, diff mounts, tailshafts and front CV's.   Disclaimer.... Ive never done any of the aforementioned stuff.......

      440s will support well over 400HP on petrol, which is a decent place to be for an RB20. 230+rwkW. Will be a safer bet for idle/low load. 550s would be nice for the extra headroom. I've made the same decision with mine (Neo25). 1000s are probably too big for the Nistuned ECU, so I have some smaller ones.
