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 thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
