Sydney Window Tinting Group Buy - From Only $150 Per Car


Recommended Posts

That looks so much better than before :happy:

Has anyone had troubles with the authorities with 15% tint on their windows. I wanna get mine done in 15% but don't wanna get done for it and have to pull it all back off.

Might give Greg a ring and organise to get mine done.

Yep.. im loven it!

NO troubles for me so far.. lol.. *knocks on wood*

so what is the legal limit of % you can get for the windows in NSW?

I can't decide between the 15 or 30, is there a middle ground thats darker than 30% but still legal?

cheers

ps booked in for next week

  • 5 weeks later...

As far as i know 35% light throughput is legal for your front windscreen

darker is ok for rear windows.

reflective vs non reflective which is better?

i take it that since it is the 30th this great offer is over? also would seeing how alot of you got the illegal 15% tint would that void insurance?

Edited by shir33

I have spoken to Greg and this offer is still available.

The closing date for this group buy has been extended to December 31st 2006

Hey btw when you get a chance to get pinkslips done,

Do they check the percentage of the tint? to see if its legal or not?

Because I dont have tint at the moment... but I recently got pinkslip done for rego, even though I didnt pass because of tyres, i saw the guy with some gadget thing and it had tint on the side of it.

Wonder what was that?

Maybe that was just for something else.

I plan to get mine done next month before summer hits

I have never heard of anyone checking tints during a pink slip

Does anyone have inside shots of the 15% tint?

D I F that looks insanely dark from the outside.

I can take one today if you like.. its not that dark.. 5% would be much worse its quite sexahhh.. haha.. you can still see inside the car, i just took those photos on my phone and on a very overcast day.

Haha i dont have my camera with me and i park undercover i will this afternoon before i leave, then i will post it up tonight.

But its really not that dark, at night if there is no lights there is.. but other then that its perfect because my car gets so hot in summer!

For those that Are interested here is a section from the RTA about window tinting.

I have attached the full Vehicle Standards Information as well.

Authorised Examiners at Authorised Inspection Stations (AIS, 'pink slip' stations) are required to check window tinting as part of the annual safety check inspection.

Tinted film that is damaged, bubbled, discoloured or that has deteriorated in any way that adversely affects the drivers view must be removed. Film residue (ie. left-over film adhesive etc.) must also be removed.

Rear vision mirrors must be fitted to both sides of a motor vehicle if the VLT of any side or rear window is less than 70%

Since 1 August 1994, NSW law has required that newly tinted side and rear windows maintain a VLT of at least 35%. When replacing window tinting which provides less than 35% VLT (ie. tint applied prior to 1 August 1994), the new window tinting must provide at least 35%VLT.

    • Why are people so insistent on making dirty water?!
    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
