if your car is pre 1996 then tint laws are different

i pulled this a few times on my last car (94 r33) it had 10% tint on it, every time i got pulled over and questioned about it id just say it came like that, has been through compiance etc with it on... and they didnt say anything

but as mango said its also got alot to do with how u drive and ur attitude toward cops. when it comes down to it the police can yellow sticker you for just about anything

Gerds it is very unlikely that a claim would be knocked back for

limo tints as the car has to be claimed to be "unroadworthy" and there would have to be proof that the accident was caused because of the tints - it is not impossible but very unlikely...

crap! insurance companies will find anything to try and void a claim!

few years ago a friend in a vk calais put fe2 suspension in his car without telling racv, he pulled out of a street and cleaned up another car, his fault, and when the asser checked the car out, he jacked up the car and saw the suspension and said that it wasent on the policy and void his claim! Suspension had nothing to do with the accident, yet he got done!

Adam those two lines are created because it's maybe too stick to the window.

it holds the winscreen while it is half way up so it does not rattle, I think you can undo all the panel then loosen up the screw or remove it all but I would not recomend it.

as long as sand or rock doesnt sit in it, it sould be ok! it better be safe then sorry.

cheers

i have seen lots of import cars with these lines. My 32 & my previous 180sx had them too. I was at a tinting place a while back and he was looking at my windows and said to the other fella there that my car had these same lines on it that other people who had been in there.

I find it is worse if you wind your windows down while they are wet. I now allways dry my windows well before i put them down.

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
