As promised I will keep you guys informed of any developments. Here are some pics of my first go at the black tint on a D22 Navara Headlight. After rigorous training the navara light is quite a challenge to get right due to the nature of the contours in the lense. I think it looks quite nice compared to the light that is not done. Bare in mind that it is not easy to capture this tint on a camera with a flash as white light penetrates the tint and reflects the chrome background straight back, so to the naked eye it looks a little more tinted than in these shots but you get the idea.

I don't get why people are going off about this, how its defectable etc. I understand that if a copper sees the "dark black" tint (and is a tight ass) and decided to pull you over, and you manage to show him its ADR approved, he cannot do shit, but i DO agree that he will most likely look like a dumb ass afterward and try and get you for something else.

Hence on a Skyline forum with the majority of cars being either a 'Skyline' of some sort of Nissan import/tuner, we all probably have some sort of defectable part or system on our car even if its dead stock!

That being said i don't like any of the colours other than the 'controversial' black tint. It does look nice and its suttle, it isnt jet black like that silver R33 that looks like every panel put on it has been done cheaply and tacky.

The way i see it if you think it just adds to the list of trouble you could possibly encounter with the police, than don't even consider it, but its not a bad idea, and it can boost the potential looks of certain models when done professionaly. I would definately be interested if i purchsed another set of new 34 lights for my car :laugh:

Hope the sales and promoting go well for you!

The cops probably wouldnt notice, those colours arent even that dark

Funny you should say that. One of the trained applicators in WA was pulled over in a modified pulsar. Went over the car. The cop never picked the lights which were done in black.

can this stop the 33 lights catchin teh yellow fever?

Yes the tint is a liquid headlight protector that does just that. Sort of like a 2pak resin that goes rock hard. this stuff is imunisation for yellow fever. my CRYSTALITE photo page < check the half light in light blue

I tinted my R32 lights years back.

It wasn't for a road car but was being built for the track. Anyway here's a pic.

But yea, I sort of agree it's stupid tinting headlights if it's going to be for the road.

Headlight tinting is for the gays - I even pulled out my ghey HID's for standard globes, cause you can see fk all with projector headlights! Who'd want to make it worse?!

You pulled out HID's and went back to halogen bulbs......they must have been some shit HID's. I can see furthur with my HID's pointed down than i can with my high beams pointed up.

I wouldnt mind a light tint on my headlights after a nice cleanup; the left xenon light on my r34 gtr has a small amount of 'foggy' whatever on the top.

The coloured ones im not a fan of

has anyone ever seen a nissan x-trail with blue tints on the headlights? factory option?

There is a product called 'crystalite' that now has ADR approved headlight tints. Its not a film but a micro resin that bonds to the light. It is quite expensive because you can't DIY. Needs a qualified Applicator. 5 or so colours and claims to be heaps stronger than the OME light (polycarbonate lenses) surface so scratches are avoided. Tell me what you reckon? click the link!

PS. I am considering becoming an applicator.

tinted headlights are velllllyyyy niccce

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
