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)

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
