i need to get some window tinting done and ive read the past threads and it states that the darkest legal tint is 35%....

just wondering what most of you guys have on your skylines like is it 20% or are most of you liners on 35% tints...

Also what would you go for, the mirror finish effect or just the plaine dark tints as i dont want ppl to be checking out whats inside the car

thanks again

wish limo tint was legal,that would keep damn car burglers away.I use a 35% 3M security tint,its expensive but the new trend nowadays especially for audi's and bmw's.One night i heard my alarm and stupidly ignored it.The next day i saw the black rubber on top of the door been like jacked up somehow.My driver mirror just had like a scratch line.No cracks,but had to fix the rubber thing cos the mirror wont go up and down properly.Mine's plain dark tint.Looks good.

3M surcurity tint is good but... most of tint places will only do window bits... that you can see... not the hole lot!

to do that tinting shop must take your door out and tint the whole glass...

what's the point doing surcurity tint when they smash it then ripp it out with hands... especially skylines have no metal surrounding so it is even easier!

so ask them if they can tint whole glass bits!

cheers

i got the sum,mer breeze on my astina ages ago and i hate it its ugly and looks brown, im going top of the range for my skyline soon, $400 odd but it is well worth getting the formula one, but most likely im going to get a 'under the counter' job and get it darker than legal

hmmm I beg to differ about mirror tint looking "homo gay" ...

PSIKO on this forum has mirror on his Silvia, and in the day time it looks hot. At night time it looks just like dark tint.

Prolly not the best example but the only one I could find for the moment:

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
