So,

My v35, has really dark tints on the rear window and the two small side windows, nothing on the two front door windows. I have trouble reversing as night, as you could imagine.

I wasn't too sure what it was initially, so I wanted to get my whole car tinted. So I went to get it tinted. The guy ripped off, the old tint and put a new one all round (20%). What I ended up was with my two front windows at 20% and the read and back still very dark! Still looks silly.

What the guy told me afterwards is that I have privacy glass at the back and side windows! (plus some extra tint) Wtf! After the new tint, its still dark, cause he's put tint on an already dark privacy filter! I still cant see too well! The point of me putting new tint was so I can see better and have even colour all round!

ANyway the back is still very dark, does naybody no in % terms the tint level on the privacy filters? After putting a 20% tint on the privacy glass, it coms up at about 8% on his machine.

I think im going to rip off my tints at the back and just hope the pirvacy glass kinda matches with my tint....what a bitch and waste of money! All the extra tint for no reason, now gotta rip it off.

Im not too keen on smashing into others cars at night, so I think ill remove it!

WOnder if anybody else has that shit privacy filter thing at the back...please share your problems.

could always get reverse came for your car. maybe cheaper then tinting or taking tint off your car

i got a Stagea s2 with privacy glass. easyer to see out of the rear window unlike a coupe. but i have given a few love taps to wall's and stuff

Hey mate,

Had it on my V35 as well, but with no extra tint on top and it wasn't to bad.

A mate of mine who tints cars, said though to match the fronts I would definitely have to use an illegal tint fro NSW so I just went legal up front and left the privacy as was in the rear. My car was Black with black interior so the difference wasn't to noticeable.

Bad part is, short of getting new glass there's no way around it.

If it's just the darkness of it that you're worried about, just take the tint off and leave it as is, as i said it wasn't too bad for me.

Cheers

Bobby

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
