hey guys, i had an old bluebird wagon, had 20% on front and rear doors and the cargo was 5%, the first couple of nights were hard to see but, when lookig through tinted windows you have to look through the tint not at it... after a 5 years of driving with it, it was like driving with no tint. all the lights still looked glary, which wasnt the case the first few days hehe...

I just got mine done today at Tint-a-car 35% (Midnight Express) for $250 (since its a coupe), it doesn't look dark at all from the inside, but from the outside, it looks pretty dark, depending on which angle your looking at it.

is he still doing it? :)

I reckon you could easily go wrong with tinting your window if you didn't get the desire dark level , you just wont be happy.

Is it true that in Vic only the driver and passenger windows are the only ones need to be at legal level? can go as dark as i want on the rear and quarter?

I got 15% done on mine and was buy a mobile tinter who came to my house on a sunday to do it... cost $260 for it... Really good guy aswell

that looks awesome!! judging by the phone numbers on the factories there i'd say you aren't in Melbourne? Wish i could find someone here who would do 15% all round for that price!

All cars look good with tint i think. I have a white 32 with rear window and quarters at 5% and the door windows are 15%. Hard as f**k to reverse at night in the dark but usually there are lights so its ok or just stick ya head out the window. I got pulled over one time and cops said i didnt have a rear p on. And i said yes i do. And their are like nah mate you dont so i showed them that i did. Thats gonna be one of the biggest problems with dark tint on the rear but now i just stick the p on the outside of the car. I have never been told by cops that the tint is too dark. None of them have even comented it except the one that couldnt see the p but he said its fine as long as the p is on the outside.

5% is impossible to see through. 15% is pretty bloody hard to see through and thats the way i like it :P

im in the same boat as you, exactly in fact. with the P plate, did they say anything about it last time when you got pulled over?

and were you pulled over because of the tint being too dark?im getting a bit worried here :D , but none the less it looks good specially day time.

Rear tint came with the car. Believe it or not the p plate is actually on the window in that pic. Top right corner. And if you think its hard to see through the back in the pic its heaps harder now with the fronts done too. Ill try take some pics soon.

L.B. - The cop didnt care bout the tint at all, he just said that i cant have the p behind it (fair enough). supposed to be clearly visible. mine wasnt even slightly visible. I have been defected for everything before: ride height, boost controller, seering wheel, pod, cooler, low tread, and even for my wiring in the engine bay not being tied down every 30cm lol. But no one cares bout the tint.

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
