for anyone thats interested, i just printed something off dtei that says as of the 1st of jan, 35% tint will be legal on windows except the windscreen (obviously).

very interested brew

might even motivate me to get my tinting redone later 2010... was not happy with the shit job tintacar did

-D

What % is currently legal?

In SA...0%, your not meant to have any on the front windows, but you can go as dark as you want behind the driver. Well that what i was told by the guy who did my window tinting.

The Road Traffic Rules 1999 set the standards required for window tinting on motor vehicles in SA.

Windscreens - must have a luminous transmittance of at least 75% for vehicles built after 1971 (70% for others) and cannot be coated in a way that reduces the luminous transmittance in any part of the area below - either the top of the windscreen wiper's sweep or the top 10% of the windscreen whichever is lesser.

Driver and front passengers windows - These windows must have a luminous transmittance of at least 70%

Windows behind the drivers seat - These must have a luminous transmittance of at least 35%.

All windows must not have a reflectance value of more than 10%.

SA Transport - Window Tinting Laws

That is so bloody awesome - I'd heard rumours of this coming in, but it's good to see it's a definite.

I can finally get my R34 fronts darker than factory (and maybe closer to matching the factory privacy glass rears).

Woot Woot Woot! *happy*

+1 :cheers::santa:

Just gave Auto Perfection a ring, R34's with no current tint on the front passenger windows, in 35%, costs around $110, not including SAUSA discount :) i know what ill be doing soon! They re-open on 4th Jan.

hey guys just went through the pits not long ago and talkad about tint to the guy. 75% front and 35% rear is legal in sa. 75%'s f**k all and not even worth bothering with. my s2 stageas come standard with 75% front and somethin stupid like 14% rear but cos its built in and factory item theres fark all they can do.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
