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.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
