Im looking at getting my 32 tinted next week and have gone to tint-a-car but i want darker then their darkest legal 35% tint plus the guy said no one does limo/dark tints anymore in WA(which is crap) and ive also looked at TKO but didnt see what i wanted on their website....

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good place,prefer SOR,i dont want anything crazy like 5-10% but dont want the 35% 'still see in the car job'..

You didnt expect TKO to ADVERTISE illegal tint on their website now did you ?

TKO will do it.

Mine came from Japan with a 20% on the sides and rear

LUCKY! :ninja:

You only get away with it because R34s have stained glass, dont you?

otherwise you wouldn't have passed pits (or it would have been removed on compliance) :P

why would you want to make a cop bait car even more attractive to the cops?

keep the tint legal it's a lot less hassle

Yeh ur right there mate,I dont want attention from the fuzz,but i have a power fc with hand controller and a few other electrical goodies easily visible when u look in the windows so i just want to hide them and the legal tint juz dont do it so i want to go darker.Ive seen limo style and lighter style tints on a number of skylines lately so im wondering how they go (and i was driving besides a black 33 last week that had daaaark dark tint on it and the cops driving behind him but left it alone,tho the driver was grannying it :) .. my mates rex has had 10% on it for the last 3 years and not a yellow yet so i guess its a hit n miss thing....

Thanx 4 the replies and reco's peepz..

I have gauges and everything on my dash and got my car tinted at tko and have never had a problem, you can actually barely see in. Just get the darkest legal stuff and save yourself the hassle of yellow stickers. Limo tint will also make it really hard to see out of the car at night, to the point that you will not be able to see where you are going.

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
