I would recommend everything but the 18%

That was way too dark. I think at one stage I almost ran someone over as I was turning right, because I couldnt see to the right of me.

So 18% is way too dark, unless you are prepared to drive with your windows down the whole time.

28% isnt too bad. Not as dark as the 18% but probably as dark as I would want to get.

I think most people will be happy with either the 38% or the 28%. These two seem to be the most popular, according to Robert

I'll take some photos tonight (if I dont forget), but its hard to tell the difference because it depends entirely on lighting conditions

I have 18% tint on my GTR and I can see fine out the windows.

You're just a pansy!

Just kidding ;) Yeah, 18% is pretty dark, but I find it okay.... At night, just wind down the windows if you're reverse parking to let more light in the car.

what are you going to put on the beemer mate? 18 again?

I'm still trying to decide between 18 or 28 for the soarer. Bare in mind it has no grunt so it does at least have to look pimpin...

The soarer, I'd go for 18%, no hesitation. It's not that dark that you can't see out of it, but I guess I got used to it (I had 18/20% on the silver GTS-t, white GTS-t and the GTR)...

But from the outside it looks REALLY dark, and I'm not sure that would suit the look of the BMW. Ideally, I'd want 25% 3M Security Film :P But at this stage, I'll be going for 18% again for the bimmer.

Just an update :

I left the windows up for 3 full days and all the bubbles dissapeared (or at least i cant find them anymore) so im pretty happy about it.

I went with the 28%

Not too dark at all. It might be hard to see out of in a street with no street lights, but apart from that its great.

Ive already had a few friends comment on how good it looks, and how much cooler it makes the car, even if its been under the sun.

Went to Robert's place this morning and had my R31 done. The guy is an absolute champion. He did a great job and I'm REALLY impressed!

For $180, it was a real steal! Had Mum's car done as well, after I dropped off my car and switched it over. Had them both done in the non-reflective 28%.

I pulled out all my door trims, parcel shelf, and brake light to make it easier.

I would thoroughly suggest going to this guy!

MarkE you probably would have seen my car there today - white 33. I got two cars done last year, and both still holding up fine.

If anyone who gets the tint has any concerns, just contact Robert and he'll sort it out.

When I got mine last year, a couple of tiny (:P

Can someone please post pics? Especially of the 28%?

Roger that. I am particulary interested in something around the 25% mark. To those that say even lower is better, do you wear sunnies when driving as well?

Merli: nice to see you are back and posting again :P

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
