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?

lol, awesome driving at night in the pitch black too? lol

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?

    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
