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

Peter Garden is my uncle...

he does all his work from home

as has done so for the last 20 + years haha

this is what he has done all his life and he knows his stuff

ps he has since moved from ballajura to morley

give him a call on 0439 877 978 and tell him his nephew Adam passed on the number

majority of his work is darker than legal and can also go to the extreem of doin your windscreen haha

cheers

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.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
