Just had mine tinted today and I've forgotton already what the percentages were :D

I Think the legal was 35% light transmission, 15% is a common illegal light transmission film.

I went the legal tint this time.....sick of unwanted police attention

I believe it is 35% sides and 25% or 30% rear. I have often wondered this though, how did they measure it? The only way I could think of it being done is with a light beam of some sort and seeing how much it lets through?

Hi i am a widow tinter in Ballarat .. there is no legal tints now .. but on my skyline i am have 20% rear to the back seat and the front doors are 30% they say as long as you have three mirrors you can have it as dark as you want .. But yes it used to be that the car had to be 35% legal shade .. go and see the RTA and tell them what is going ..they should have a light metre and by rights should cancle that defect notice if ur only have 38%..

For a Coupe. ONLY the passanger and driver windows have to be 35%. The Smaller ones and the rear one can be as dark as you want.

Not quite true there my man! well at least not here in SA, I had some seriously dark tint in the quarter panels and the back, and no tint at all in passanger and driver windows and I was told I had to take them out, so...hope its different over there.

Yeah if you were in melbourne you would not have any trouble with that. I got told this by Tint-A-Car so they can only offer to do the car legally.

There was an R32 GTR in at the Tint place I was at having the tint removed from the rear quarter windows and rear screen for the pit inspection as it was deemed illegal, law probably varies from state to state, but i'm pretty sure 35% light transmission is legal in WA.

(They test with a tool that kind of resembles a G clamp but with an opening just big enough to slide over the glass, all tint places will have them)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
