Hi Guys and Gals...

Just wondering... as we all know the stageas already have the dark coloured glass from the rear passanger back... obviously its worth tinting the front 2 windows plus the strip across the windscreen, but what I am wondering is it worth tinting the other windows???

I guess my question is... Is the dark glass only stopping the light or does it stop the UV also???

Thanks

MrGTST

my car has the factory 'privacy glass'. I had the front door windows tinted by sol ace in their 'midnight' spec film to get the match as close as possible.

with one of those folding reflective shields put on the inside of the windscreen,my car stays cool all day long when parked in the sun,so the factory tint has to be keeping the UV out.

Yep, MrGTST, the privacy glass is UV-reflective. Even the lower-spec Stageas (X- and G-spec, which I don't think we even get here, if they're even eligible under SEVS) have UV-cut glass.

AFAIK, most, if not all, cars would have UV-cut glass if they were built in the last, maybe, 15 years. Someone may be able to shed some more light (hahaha) on this...

Hey i've had my Stagea(WGNC34) for three years now, bought privately and havn't had an issue with it at all. Obviously i have had it registered twice and has passed every time without fail.

Untill this year, my rego had been cancelled for an unpaid fine of witch i was unaware i had. So i needed to get a blue slip for the car and was told the car could not pass due to having illegally dark tint on the car.

Later when i had a mobile tint company come to the car and was informed that it was not tint on the car but was privacy glass and he could not do anything about it at the time, i had no idea what privacy glass was at this stage. I went back to the mechanic that inspected my car for the blue slip and explained it was privacy glass and not tine, and he told me that he could not pass it due to the numbers on the glass not matching up with the numbers in RAWS (the department that had this car imported).

I have called RAWS to see if they can help me out but i havn't herd back yet, has anyone ever had this or even heard of this happening to them. And if so can i get advice on what to do now.

In australia a wagon is classified as a Comercial vehicle (kind of). This means that it doesn't matter what happens behind the b pillar. You could paint them black and still be legal. The front windows need to comply with the standard 30% tint or whatever the percentage is they allow.

There is no clear glass option available for the Stagea when it comes to replacement glass in the windows back from the B pillar.

Obtain the Part Number for the glass, and show this to your mechanic; or disregard him, and go see someone who has experience with imports, not Datsun 200b's with rust repairs.

Do you have a reference for that?

Normally a commercial vehicle such as a van or its costs more to register.

Google that shit Ben, loading zone parking is the best.

Unfortunately most people (including police) don't know their parking laws well enough. You may still cop a ticket but no need to pay it as legally you can park there (15min). It's well documented.

I had no idea about this one; how awesome.

Loading zone
Only drivers of vehicles principally constructed for carrying goods may park their vehicle in a loading zone.
These vehicles may stop for up to 30 minutes if they are being loaded or unloaded.
A station wagon or a three-wheeled goods vehicle may stop for up to 15 minutes.
If you are driving any other sort of vehicle you may only stop to pick up or set down passengers at the kerb.
Hours of operation may apply to some signs. This means restrictions apply for those times only.

This is one of the reasons I own wagons. Very handy when you need to quickly grab something in the CBD

I was gonna go a 3 wheel goods vehicle, but they are hard to come by

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Unfortunately haven’t taken pics yet after it was finished. All the edges are hemmed nicely, just had to cut holes for the gear shifter and seat bolts and seat belt bolts in the rear. The molds seem like they’re done with steam and a layer of glue on the underside to hold a bit of shape but still soft enough that it’s a good fit when it’s all pressed down.

      I was very unimpressed with how the car came up from the A pillar forward, before I hit things (twice). It all has to go. It had to go, but now it has to go... more. So we finally found the very first Shennanigans with the entirely perfectly setup engine that had no problems being pulled apart to improve on 'was perfectly fine'. Cam bearings looked a bit... stock. Which isn't entirely bad given they were stock and this is a ~20 year old engine. So new cam bearings are on the way because it's somewhat difficult to get to this stage to do it later, and it will trash the block. It was quite unusual that it wasn't done when the perfectly new-looking VCM cam was originally installed by [unknown] What IS unusual is the cam that was installed there was advanced SIX degrees. As to why there is no way to know.. however it could have been @Dose Pipe Sutututu's mate who wanted a larger cam sound but also wanted it to come on earlier to be more usable. This is my dyno sheet with the previous setup - This cam is not supposed to peak until 7000+ RPM, according to VCM. This is what lead me down the whole 'my heads/intake setup is running out of puff and can't support the cam' line of thinking to begin with. Anyway too late now - New cam is in! It could be rather funny if this smaller cam acts like a larger cam because it isn't advanced six degrees. In the spirit of everything is working amazingly - the COMP cam required no dialling in whatsoever. It was about 0.5 degrees advanced, which seems pretty bang on. Any adjustment either way would be further out. I'm told as a chain breaks in it ends up regarding back about 0.5 a degree as the chain breaks in, making it bang on. In the spirit of everything was previously working amazingly - The timing gear that was taken out turned out to be was an N-Motion double timing chain kit, with adjustable cam gear (which is how it was 6 degrees advanced) and all looks entirely perfectly new. It also had a Torrington bearing, which was one of the reasons I ended up getting the Cloyes kit which they used in the C5R 24 hour racecar - Because I couldn't confirm what was in the engine when talking to Tony Mamo. I did believe however it was a Double chain kit of some kind... but found no supporting documentation or evidence for it.

      I recently did this to my R33 with the full set from Car Mats Direct, they can't do the vinyl anymore that's advertised on the website due to a supplier issue so I ended up with the Black Loop Pile which looks great. I went all out with rubber sound deadening sheets from Repco and also added the sound deadening foam layer option with the carpet. Makes a world of difference and got rid of all the weird smells in the 29 year old interior. It was a bit of work but I'd 100% recommend it, Car Mats Direct had awesome customer service and quick postage. Replaced my seats with some sporty ones from Autotechnia while I was at it, feels like a new car.
