Anyone recommend window tinters NOR?

May need a quick removal of tint on my V35 rear windows before licensing next week.

Only seen the car in pics and it looks very dark.

I heard there is a new tint available that is dark but legal...Is that true?

TKO - did my BMW earlier this year - i am not happy with the result. Front two windows have bubbles and ripples. I have been meaning to ring him but have been way to busy.

Current TRendz did my old skyline and HSV and was a fantastic job.

TKO brother (Nathan I think his name was) - did my astra and also did a great job.

So my personal opinion on the 4 cars ive had done:

1. Current Trendz

2. Nathan

3. TKO

My opinion only.

Check the whitepages (not online) for Peter Gardner or Gardener tinting ... was in Malaga or thereabouts.

I've had 2 cars done through him and know of at least 4 other people who have had multiple cars done through him.

Great guy, great service.

Peter is my uncle

he's in morley nowadays (right across the road from the ford dealership)

he does it from home and only uses qaulity material

no such thing as a dark legal, its just the colour of the film and glass that gives the effect

his contact number is 0439 877 978

let him know Adam sent you :)

Thanks Guys

They look tidy Chris, who did you get them off in the USA and what are they worth to buy.

To be honest I just use Solar Tint in Vic Park and I havent had a problem yet.

None taken mate

I've had black and they look so good until you spot the dust accumalating while you're still using the chamois after washing.

But yeah nothing better than a black well polished car

This is my favourite pic.

topaz fine by me :(

35 is the legal maximum but dont get caught out and think that by applying a 35 grade film to your windows that the total grade will be 35.

the glass will reduce it to 30 or so (depends on a few diferent things such as colour of the glass)

mine has 15 on the sides and 35 on the back just incase if i get a yellow sticker ( the rear window is the hardest to apply the film to )

and F**K YEA the g35 is sex! cant wait to see one in the flesh

If you have only seen the glass in pics then it might not be tint at all.

my r34 has darkened glass which is like really dark tint like but is not tint.

It is 100% legal and you can pass the pits with it..

You're correct.

I found out it is factory "privacy" glass.

Where did you get your R34 licensed?

Would prefer somewhere they have had this issue before so I don't get hassles .

Will need to get the fronts tinted to match while staying legal

    • Yeah, hard to find and a pain in the ass to change with the transverse engine. I’ve worked on a GTiR before and it’s not a job I’d ever want to do again. theres a company in South Africa that makes RS3 gearbox adaptors for the AWD SR20 including gearbox mounts, so I could modernise it and go a dual clutch with paddles. For now tho, it ticks all the boxes. Super cheap, can throw the kids and their junk in the back, and SR20 that I can turbo cheaply, a CVT that’s not a dog’s breakfast like the V35, and has 80% interchangeable parts with stuff I can source from the wreckers cheaply…. But it’s still unique. I love the wagon back of the Autech version. It’s cheap enough that I can buy another stock manual FWD Primera with SR20VE, swap the gearbox to the N15 pulsar short gear ratio box, swap out the brakes to the R32 ones I pulled off my 32, register it on club plates and take it racing. $1300 shipping from NZ. Heaps of parts and aftermarket builders for transverse SR20’s in NZ.
    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
