hey, im planning to get my windows tinted but have a few questions, first of all i know u can tint all your windows except the front, and also know they do it by shades etc.

So im planning to go the darkest legal tint which blocks 99%UV and offers more privacy and security. So that leaves me with which windows should i get tinted?

- all windows except the front

- rear window and the 2 qaurter windows at the rear

- other (sugesstions)

I asked around for some price qoutes and they vary around $200, fairly expensive for just somefilms. If you guys know any other places that do a good job and is cheap in adel please post.

Thanks in advance, nada.

$200 isnt that bad. its not that had to do it yourself but the back screen can be a prick cause of its size. in my oppinion well worth the money and not have the stress of screwing it up.

plus if you spend a bit to get it done you know it will be done right. nothing worse than seeing a car where the tint is all peeling off. just make sure you go to a place that offers a warrenty on the job.

+1 +1 +1!!!

and Do as much as you can, looks silly if you only do the qtr's.

Also you might be able to do the top section of the front windscreen, not sure if that's still allowed or not??

i got my window tints done, all up cost me $200 bucks which is awsome other places where charging around 270 - 320!

the tint was for the rear windscreen and all the sides, however the catch is the driver and passegnger side have to be 70% and the darkest you can go is 35% (the lower the darker)

BUT he was a nice guy and was like tell you what ill just do 35% all the way through! but if you get pulled over dont mention this place! LOL sure thing!

After the tinting was done i asked how much it wouldve cost if i wanted darker etc and he was like nuts, should have said so before same price mate as darkest as you want, you can even get a mirror tint, i was like dang too late. i could have went presidential 5% LOL

The point is i got my tinting done for a good price :)

OH and my brother who has a 2001 WRX got his front windscreen replaced from the same guys the next day because he had small stone chips on his, he got qouted for $400+ at O'briens and the place i recommended him only charged $140 and this was quality glass not that china crap O'briens gets!

If you want the contact details, just pm me. and ill arrange what ever you need :down:

So you got the legal 35% all the way around??

I got 18% all the way around. Best thing i did to my car after suspension upgrade. Awesome driving around in the middle of the day with the windows up no glare at all.

Nice!, did you have tint on before hand, if so does that price include removing old tint and then applying the new, or do u need new glass if its already got tint applied?

Err well it's not as dark as you would think and it takes all of a few moments to get used to it. Most places you drive at night have street lights anyway... therefore don't notice it. If you went somewhere that didn't have street lights it doesn't matter if you have crystal clear windows or 5% tint. Unless you can see in the dark that is :) can you?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.

      Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
