in ACT its 35% (+/- 5%) so technically 30% transparency can slide but 29% is over the limit.

In NA catergory vehicles (van and utes) you can have any tint you want on any glass behind the drive, the front 2 windows must still meet the 35%.

you cant have any kind of film below that little marker on your winscreen.

as for reflective/metallic/mirror tint you can't have more that 8% reflective (unless its on the back of a ute or van, in which case you can paint in the windows if you like)

15% is pretty dark, you'll find yourself putting the window down at night just to see out

When I bought my car from a dude in QLD, it had 5% tint on every window except the windscreen.

don't even consider going that dark, it was STUPID. Couldn't see a thing through them at night, and could barely seen into them even during the day.

Whether you like it or not is one thing, I for one thought it looked awesome from the outside. Fact remains, you CANNOT see through it in either direction at night, and it's illegal. You'd be stupid to have a car that gets driven in any kind of darkness with that kind of tint on the door-windows.

Yeah, you can see OUT at night but only barely, far from safe or advisable.

However if you want to be a cocky smartass as you've been in the past, I'd suggest taking it elsewhere. The guy was asking for advice, which you gave. We don't want you to hang around stroking it over having such good eyesight.

Have I been bad in the past boo hoo get over it

You're the one who got butthurt last time buddy, but whatever works huh. I didn't argue with you either, given your point was "love it" and I agreed it looks awesome.

Yeah 15% would be a bit much still at night, if only it was possible to get something (cheap) completely black from the outside but barely a shade darker from the inside...

who is this bender? cos his saying that with 5% of the visible light transmission at night, which means 95% of visible light is blocked out by the tint that he can see clear as day (night), i dont think Troys the one with his hand on it mate. you'll be able to see headlights and street lights and about fark all else on the street.

by the way its useless pricks like you that clog up informative threads with your bullshit. so make like a tree and faaaaaaarrrrrrrrkkkk off :action-smiley-069:

ON TOPIC:

afew months back i did a rego on a V35 and it had 35% front 2 windows and 20% on the rears and 15% on the back. looked sweet i rekon, either though its not legal, either though half the stuff people do to cars these days isnt legal anyway

Clearly your a bit blind either that or you cant read. I said I can see through it well enough. I never made it was the same non tinted windows.

And all of a sudden because I dont have the same opinion as you im a bender?.

I can never understand people that dont agree that have to get abusive as your self to try and make your point

clearly you don't agree that's fine say it and move on.

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation.

      If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
