my drivers side window tint had to be replaced as it got a nice 4cm gouge in it.

After removing door trim and window surround, the tinter slowly peeled it off, then using soapy water and a razor blade went over the whole window and got the glue off, and kept doing that till it was all good, then used a squigy thing to wipe it clean.

he made it look easy, and only took him 5-10 mins, but expect it to be a bit of a shit, but not impossible.

u need a hairdryer , warm the film on the whole window u want to do when hot start from 1 corner and peel the whole window , it should be very easy once hot . u'll have a lot of gum left on the glass the best way to remove that is thinners or grease +wax remover try not to get it on the rubers , it should take 20 min a window to do a good job finish the job with a window cleaner .

now the hard part , the rear window u have to be carefull not to damage the demister , always pull the film across not up and down if u take care it shoulb be ok . keep in mind that window tinters will not guarantee the demister if the take old tint off.

    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
