PM user Yaah31 if you are NOR, he lives in Mount Helena, just got his done like 3 weeks ago, but i forget who by. The guy did a really good job and only charged $250 to do his car which is a 4 door, so will be cheaper seeing you have a coupe. Yaah31's car looks awesome now though!

Yeh dainsdabomb is good too, seen some of his stuff on some other Skylines, but he isn't mobile, you have to take your car to him. He quoted Yaah31 $250 as well, same as the the other guy except the other guy came to Matt

Maybe call TKO and ask them.

The only information in the Road Traffic (Vehicle Standards) Rules 2002 is :

Window tinting

(1) Glazing used in a windscreen of a motor vehicle must have a

luminous transmittance of at least —

(a) for a motor vehicle built after 1971 — 75%; or

(b) for another motor vehicle — 70%.

(2) Windscreen glazing of a motor vehicle must not be coated in a

way that reduces its luminous transmittance.

(3) However, subrules (1) and (2) do not apply to the greater of the

following areas of a windscreen —

(a) the area above the highest point of the windscreen that

swept by a windscreen wiper;

(b) the upper 10% of the windscreen.

(4) Glazing used in a window or interior partition of a motor

vehicle must have a luminous transmittance of at least 70%.

(5) Glazing in a window other than the windscreen may be coated

to achieve a luminous transmittance of not less than 35%.

(6) Glazing that has been coated to reduce its luminous

transmittance must not have a reflectance of over 10%.

(7) The luminous transmittance requirement in subrule (5) applies

to a vehicle instead of the corresponding requirement in the

relevant ADR.

(8) In this rule —

glazing means material fitted to the front, sides, rear or interior

of a vehicle, through which the driver can see the road, but does

not include a coating added after manufacture of the material;

luminous transmittance, for glazing, means the amount of light

that can pass through the glazing as a percentage of the amount

of light that would be transmitted if the glazing were absent.

AFAIK it's only light transmission (ah see above post :down:) so in theory colour wouldn't matter.

Of course, there's also the issue re 'mirror' tint or reflective films and light tranmission. The police can use a device which measures light transmissions through the windows...not sure if most cops use it or just yellow you to make you go to the trouble.

    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
