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.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
