Hey guys,

Wondering if anybody knows places that pass 15% tints for pink slips near Parramatta?

I decided to get my car pink slipped legit, as last 2 years the guy didnt even test the brakes, and now the guy's telling me: FAIL for tyres and reckons i have 12-13% tints on the front windows.... am guessing they're 15% tints. Tyres is legit, and shall have replaced, but the tints is a bit silly to me, i bought the car with the tints and don't like prospect of forking out plenty to have 'em taken off and put back.

PM me even.

Thanks

Hey George,

What I don't understand is that you state that you want to do a legitamite pink slip, then try to find a way out when you are knocked back on something that isnt legal?

If you are going to get it passed legally, get it done 100%

otherwise go to the bodgy bloke in the first place.

BTW - there is a reason why 15% is illegal. It lowers the amount of light coming into the car so much so, that your vision is reduced considerably. This reduces the safety of you and others around you on the road.

I would hope you wouldn't put a couple of hundred dollars in tint infront of your life or those of others on the road near you.

It doesn't matter so much what you deem important. Someone who has spent countless amounts of time/effort has figured out what the rules are then some git politician has made that law to protect people in this society.

The only way around it is if you can convince them it was done prior to 1 August 1994 (dependant on car model this may or may not be possible)

If you can't understand the problem/law, maybe you should study it here.

Else, you must keep your car maintained to the correct standards.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
