has anyone here got darker then legal tint and if so have you had any problems with our friends in blue? :run:

I'm wanting to get tint this week as my r33 doesnt have any tint presently

I never realised there was this many options for tint, Black, Charcole, Darker then legal, Mirror

what do you guys think would look best on a silver 97 r33?

Im thinking either a dark tint or possibly mirror

cheers

the charcoal tinting looks like alot of the new cars.. so it updates the cars look straight away.. mirror is tricky cos of the reflectivity of the film etc and how much is too much reflection etc. black if done right looks smicko

but its too hard to see out alot of the time at night..

DARKER THAN LEGAL is straight forward isnt it

i would go with the smoky charcoaly one that is slightly reflective..

hmmm combo tint

Legal tint is 35% visibility . (cops can test this)

If your interior is dark, an illegal tint such as 20% or 5% visibility will get you in trouble as the car will appear darker. That said, if your interior is dark then a legal tint will be complimented. I have had 5% (limo) and i got a yellow sticker. Illegal tint is more inconvenience than its worth.

Mirror tint either comes in 35% (legal) or fully reflective. Fully reflective will get you done for sure. Apparently fully reflective is a bit annoying aswell because it can reflect from the inside making it hard to see out. Even with my legal reflective tint i was getting reflections of my dash on my side window at night time.

I just got legal reflective tint done, and i like it much more than any tint i have gotten previously, although it costs $50 more.

peter garden in ballajura didi all my tinting requirements, can do any darkness down to 95%, and is still the best quality work ive ever seen

raasclat is on point. I got the tint just after the darkest legal...i believe its 30 or 25%...cant remember exactly. But my interior is black and the guy suggested the one i got was perfect. Apparantly as long as cops can see a siloette of a person, they more than likely wont pull you over. I have had it for about 4 months and havent been pulled over yet.

I got it done at sun pro in ossy park...cheapest i could find. It was $220 including removing the old tint!

I have a little darker than legal too, not sure exactly as it was on the car when I bought it, but I've been pulled over twice (at night) and they put a torch though the windows (to look what's in the back I guess) and never said anything about the tint.

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
