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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
