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?

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
