I recently took my stagea over the pits to get it mod permitted.

Amongst some other things they picked on my window tint, its the darkest legal tint on the front 2 windows which wasn't a problem. But all the back windows have dark as tint which is considered "illegal".

Now what i thaught were the rule is that the back windows you can have as dark as you want? Its only the two front windows that must be legal?

They said no it has to be of legal darkness all round, they said if its in the glass its OK but not of its tint? How is that fair?

Does anyone know whats the go on this? My old 180 passed complience with darker tint on the back then this has.

I believe you can have the back as dark as you want if its a registered business Vehicle. Why else would vans be allowed to have no back windows. I think you can go darker on the back think its 15% and 35% on the sides not sure though.

SN1P3R had 15% all round, took it off the front windows and passed. Just who you get really.

My mate's dad drives a limo Statesman (not stretched though) and he needs to remove the tint every year to go over the pits so it's a bit confusing.

Maybe the laws have changed recently?

Hope that helps.

If you are going darker than legal you may as well do it all round, it will look better. :)

Had 34 coupe and 32 coupe pass with dark 1/4 n rear , made to remove tint of the 34 as it was dark and 32 had no front tint .

Where it turns to shit is new cars now have " privacy glass " which is pretty dark on rears , i gave up trying to work out how they pass shit n fail others

Just make sure you remove the tint from back window with steamer so you have a much greater chance of saving your rear demisters.

When removing tint from rear window there is always a chance you will loose your rear demister bars.

true that. i attempted to take tint off myself on my old commo but too much effort, took it too a window place in maddington near bunnings. paid them couple hundred bucks to take it off and re-tint and they just scratched the crap out of my window! i was like wtf! if i wanted that i'd have done it myself. needless to say, it had no demisters anymore. :wave:

There is a rather ambiguous line in there..

Yes i just re-read it all today now ive finished night shift and seems that the whole document is something that depends on how you want to interpret it?

it may or may not be legal just depends on the guys mood and whether he thinks you are a hoon or not probly.

Yep for sure.

So the best thing to do is go to someone else :D

My brothers window tint is 5%. got told to take it off. :banana:

So he went to a different guy, big smiles it was all good ;)

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
