Cheers mate, what parentage did you do? And was it a full car that you got done? Also roughly what was the coat? Do you have any pics of the work?

Sorry about all the q's just trying to be thorough haha :)

5%? lol i had that before.. i struggled reversing out of driveways at night

Yeah that's the only thing that's put some doubt in my mind lol. Maybe 5% at the back and 15% at the front? Though that'd probably still be bloody hard lol. My mate has 5% on his XR6T ute, says he has to put the window down to reverse down side streets at night...sucks when it's rainin I guess lol

Just something to be aware of - cannot confirm this but have heard multiple times from people, if its not road legal tint and you have an accident the insurance company will blame the fact you could not see out properly so you wont be covered.

No there are legitimate cases, just I cannot confirm if there were other factors involved to make the insurance companies deny the claim, ie if it was night/day so visibility was already reduced etc.

Ummm I just went what ever legal is. It was the full car but I don't really have any pics showing it off very well (if you want ill take some) I have the following:

Also some pics here:

But not up close with windows etc. Price was around $380 I think (2+ years ago)? If you give him a call on 0417755537 he should be able to give you a quote over the phone. Might be bit more expensive than others but I will be going back there if I was to get another car.

Brett does a top job. tint looked like the day he applied it for almost 5 years. only damage was caused by my ex gf's bag buckle :rant:. have been pulled over by pettet, he checked only the door windows. lucky i had 35% on those. had 20% on the qtrs and rear.

    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
    • Probably. I take it that they are also mentioned to be for R34 Skyline? For example.... RDA has that part as RDA7957. I have the dimpled and slotted version of that on my car https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285518478694?srsltid=AfmBOopKxMuAFpsxZJdB1cam4D5RAj1f9yJyOttPZLAwXVNCOiwlhrIy This is DBA's top one piece equivalent https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364246686631?srsltid=AfmBOorbb0XHQgqTvZLgQPhg70nqJtGvdojKnugum3O2LFSr2h-obp8D
