Have the car booked in to get the front windows on my coupe tinted.

All the rumors I've heard from people say you aren't supposed to wind the windows for a period until the glue on the tint sets properly. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but I'm worried that the auto winding when you open and close the door might wreck it.

I don't think that will an issue. I got a friend who tinted his coupe windows at my house and it's just a tiny bit that goes up and down.

As long as it's done right (Maybe warranty?), it will be all right. :)

hey i got it done like 5months back.....if done properly, its no big deal.....u gotto make sure you tell the guys about this.....i had to assist while they did it becoz it was just one guy....so i had keep pressing the release button on the door to keep the window from doing down so the guy had time to get the tint on it...he then applied some heat at the bottom of the window to get it glued in faster......had no issue after that though.....as victor said try getting a tint which has got life time warranty...there are lots of places that do that.....cheers....

I had mine done by the guys at solartint and they user a big clip to hold the little sensor on the dor wall down so the window was up at all times, i left the car in the morning while i went to work and it was a sunny day so the guys had the car in the shop most of the day with the doors open allowing for the glue to dry with the windows up for over like 6 hours this was more than enough to set

the guy i spoke to said about 2 hours with a bit if heat and it wont move as long as you dont try to move or peal it. and generaly after 24 hours if it didnt budge its safe to say its stuck well

I got mine tinted, the guy just unscrewed the sensors and did the job, 2 hours later it was all done and it was able to go up and down, there were verryy slight bubbles down the bottom where its caught but they were gone within a few days.

Hows driving at night with 35% tint? Anyone with issues seeing stuff out the window at night?

I'm thinking of getting mine tinted too. What would you guys recommend?

Edit: Also what is reasonable pricing for window tints on our car?

i paid around $200 to get 35% by solartint. 35% is not that dark at all, night visibility will be fine.

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
