Nightcrawler Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I came across these posted in another thread - thought it might be useful to put up for common info. All vehicle regulations are supposedly governed by NCOP.(National Code of Practice) in conjunction with ADR. Window Tinting clause 7.2 page 24 http://www.infrastru...0_01Jan2011.pdf short answer 70% transmittance (30% tint) Wheels & Tyres table on Page 23 http://www.infrastru...n_2011%20v3.pdf get to know your maximum tyre widths / aspect ratios in relation to stock. all codes here : http://www.infrastru...n/vsb_ncop.aspx Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/387718-adrlegal-vehicle-requirements/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrm Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 That's not what it says about tinting: For the windows forward of the rear of the driver’s seat luminous transmittance must not be less than 70% when measured through glass and film together unless the laws of a State or Territory allow a lesser luminous transmittance. The lesser transmittance must be above 35%. (Figure LZ-G2 illustrates the window tinting requirements in terms of luminous transmittance for passenger vehicles. It also specifies the different requirements currently in force in the Northern Territory); For windows behind the rear of the driver’s seat the luminous transmittance must not be less than 35%; Reflectance in the visible light range must not exceed 10%; and The coating must not be wrinkled, blistered, bubbled or discoloured such that visibility through the glass and film is impaired. Which basically says 70% unless the state allows a lower transmittance - in-which case the minimum is 35%. South Australia allows for 35%. http://www.transport.sa.gov.au/pdfs/personal_transport/light_vehicles_pdfs/MR430_Window_Tinting.pdf For full information on South Australian laws regarding tinting - which includes information on 'body tinting' (which many of our cars came from the factory with - mine has AS3 rated rear glass).

Carbon 34 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I just had mine retinted last week, they checked the tint that existed from japan and it was 17% from the B pillar back and cleared regency with that on .....the australian aftermarket front windows came up 29% from a local tinter a few years ago(it was supposed to be 35% ?). using the same laser tester as police use. dont forget the UV built into the clear glass can throw off the laser enough to be non compliant regency compliance thought my car had privacy glass in back but it was just tint. scratched nicely from the compliancer installing baby bolts. thru the speaker grills, muppets !!! the new tint came up 34% from Tint a Car using max legal darkness tint , the clear glass had a few % in it on the front and a little bit more on the backs. I want 5% on all grrrrrrrr its ghey so hot here but in arizonia its legal for that reason alone. police safety my ass. you dont have guns here like states How in the hell is anyone supposed to weed thru all these rules for a simple mod . might as well study law ...then they get you to spend more money to engineer it. its a sham , a fleecing of money and in the long run adelaide has its own rules, or SUSS defect , a catch all for more money... reminds me of the dude on today tonight with the corvette and blue stripes. or the land barge that wanted disk brakes but couldnt update , or seatbelts on old cars,,, all ghey rules Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/387718-adrlegal-vehicle-requirements/#findComment-6181650 Share on other sites More sharing options...

NISSAN GTR Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I bought my R32 GTR from Queensland , it had been registered in Queensland for years wtih NO ADRs done at all , no intrusion bars or anything , we suck in S.A Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/387718-adrlegal-vehicle-requirements/#findComment-6183156 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bl4cK32 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 (edited) no intrusion bars or anything , we suck in S.A Yeah, must suck hard having the car not fold in half like paper when getting t-boned. The ADRs are fine, its the people who interpret them and the system that enforces it is the problem. http://www134.lunapic.com/do-not-link-here-use-hosting-instead/132631006398890?9739960111 Edited January 11, 2012 by Bl4cK32 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/387718-adrlegal-vehicle-requirements/#findComment-6183531 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF Whats amazing is Regency ended up letting the car pass with no intrusion bars because it was already registered in Australia / Queensland The Ironic thing is it was T_BONED by a 4WD and written off last year . Genuine 30k car GRRRRRRRR , it was worse than a death in the family Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/387718-adrlegal-vehicle-requirements/#findComment-6183558 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigkevracer Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Interesting read Andrew, cheers. I notice it makes no mention of adjustable coilovers, just that if they fit to the standard mounting points they're legal. Win. Also corrects a mate of mine the other day who tried to tell me my strut brace was illegal...
