Just thought I'd pop these up, for your perusal.

Just the doors were done, rest is factory.

Done by Instant Screens, cnr Warrigul and Keys...(Always had my cars done here)

Soz about the pic quality...camera phone!....actual quality appears pristine.

Front and rear bumpers get re-sprayed next week...woohoo!....I want them perfect. I'm fussy.

looks good. just as well you didnt do teh back. people that tint the rear windows of cars like this complain of crap radio reception. ( metalised tint halves the reception plastic film does not.)

Thanks mate,

The reception thing?... it makes good sense....so the standard tint that is already on there is plastic Chris..?

I get great reception, so I guess that rear black window is plastic?

Looks good superspit, i opted for 15% black all round and it turns out just fine - didn't affect the reception at all :D

In saying that, im probably going for a silver/neutral tint as soon as i can find someone who can do it.

Anyone in Sydney? :(

Thanx G33.....

On the job invoice mine is 'rated' @ 35%..........mmmm.

It's a little lighter (in reality) to the rear and privacy glass.

To avoid poor/low quality radio reception, Nissan would have had to (as Chris suggested) use a tint that contained no metal in it's makeup..for the rear glass.

Maybe your 'rear window' tint is not a 'metalized' version? ....I just don't know enough about tinting materials.

Yes..I reckon a silver tint finish on the glass would look shit-hot!!.....Hope you get it so I can see it!!

Cheers.

Looks good!

So you only did the doors, does that mean the rear side glass is still standard 'privacy' glass. Correct?

If that is the case it seems to match really well.

Just for the record, most Tint films are Metal based as this offers more life... Plastic films degrade quicker than the Metal Film.

Although the metal types reduce the effectiveness of Ultrasonic alarm use and radio reception..

Yes, just did the doors....everything else was factory; privacy glass and rear screen.....(I thought all 35's were like that??)

It does make the windows look quite dark there in the workshop doesn't it!?

iv wondered about the privacy glass, can we get defected for it? i mean its pretty dark! i would be keen to do the windows as well but dont want to draw too much attention from the boys in blue

mmm...it's a good point...none of us want anything but 'admiring' type attention, from the police.

But we drive V35's, and if we drive them well and within the legal road specs, with a good attitude we should see no issues.

But....if we drove the 32,33,34's....mmmmm...well now......that seems to be a different story, now doesn't it?

"G'day driver, would you mind poppin the hood....mmmm...yes.....yes.......very well hidden turbo's on these things....what's the retail on these?"

When you consider most of the 'private' Mobile Speed Camera Cars in Victoria are heavily tinted, I'd see the bas*ards in court.

They are never legal.

geeeesh guys...all this talk of 'legalities' is scarin the shit outa me....shall I go rip it off?

I got a really light reflective tint for my rears and reception is fine, and got the fronts tinted which all matches up great!

Also added the rear light overlays purchased from Blue_Batmobile (WWW.BLUEBATMOBILE.NET) via the G35Driver site in the states, if your tinter is not experienced with these then not a good idea to let them put them on. The material is a lot softer than normal tint and needs to be placed carefully and shaped to the lights. Mine turned out ok, a few permanent bubbles but nothing to complain about, I'll post up pics soon.

You can get away with illegal tint if you are lucky but God forbid, if you were ever involved in an accident, its just another reason for your insurer to knock you back.

Well if uncle Kevin finaly hooks me up with some cash for a change. I might do my bit for the local economy and get my front windows done. What tint did you use and its %, is it the same darkness as the back windows?

Hi All,

I want to get my 300GT sedan windows tinted shortly. Both places I've been suggest 'carbon / non metallized' tint for the rear windscreen , one however suggests it for all windows, just curious what you all do?

Reception is bad enough with these band expanders, so I don't want to make it worse at all, but seems like doing all windws in non metallized film mya be just a waste of money??

Cheers

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
