I've been told many things about tinting rules and regulations.

Where you can have a certain percentage etc..

I want some closure after been told so much.

Lets take a pic of you're average R33 (which so happens to be my r33 :D )

DSCF0266.jpg

As you can see, the quatrepanel has a significantly darker tint.

I've been told by people this is legal, and others that it isn't.

I'm thinking it's legal, considering it's not pitch black, and you don't physically have to look through the quatrepanel. Can anyone confirm this?

Also the final percentage for legal tint.. In a recent thread there was a little debate. Im thinking it's 35%?

:P kids.

VSI03 - Vehicle and Windscreen tinting

- 35% VLT (vehicle light transmission) as a minimum to all side and rear windows for a car first registered after 1/8/94

So if your rear quarter is darker than that, it's illegal.

God dam... nice gts.. except I'm not a fan of the chrome..

I just need those 400r skirts, wheels, coils and I'll be set.

I have the same tint as you, except my passenger windows and windscreen are stock tint... I can't see a thing at night when I'm reversing :D

Thanks mate.

Yeah the rims aren't the best.. I'll probably eventually change them when money is better. =]

The skirts are veilside btw.. just a 400R Front bar :D

Reversing at night isn't too hot.. I've had some VERY close encounters.

If your car was built before August 1990 when the law came into effect then technically you can get a pink slip (sans dodgey mechanic) with darker than 35% tint.

BUT that's not to say counstable (<--why do I keep hearing that word a different way :() joe schmo won't defect you for it.

Also it seems alot of pink slip mechanics don't get out the tint tester anyway.

o/t: Br3tt, I would absolutely hate driving on your driveway!!! If my driveway was built that way with those angles I'd kick my landscaper in the NUTS!

Tell me about it mate.. Definately wasn't built for Skylines.

My dad's R33 GTST Series 2 (stock height) gets up *fine*, going down needs a bit of an angle.

Mine, lets just say I have metal strips under my front bar for a reason.

I should really upload the pics of the gutter, and what we've done to try and make it Skyline friendly.

My bad :P

Those skirts look very nice with the front bar none the less..

Maybe even better than the 400r.. not sure though, because, 400r ones look pretty tough.

I had my windows tinted not long ago at 30%.

The lady said that 35% is that legal tint but they do some police cars

and the cop told her they dont really make a fuss if you do go 30%.

But was gonna go darker on the quaters and the rear but she said thats

illegal on non-comercial vehicles.

And they did have the silver tint though doesn't show up as nice as

what black does. And i think its kinda gay lookin. But thats just my opinion.

I got my car done with 35% as I did not want any hassels. The Tinter had a old Lexus Sorer with 10% all around and it was like black paint, he has had several encounters with cops, but as he is a tinter he seems to avoid a defect.

While the cops may pick on you if you go darker than legal, you need to remember that "if" the tint causes an accident, your insurance could be voided, this is also the case if you run someone over. Your car is technically unroadworthy.

I nearly ran a person over at night when turning into a side street in the wet. I had 20% tint and only missed them by a mm, it was way to close.

    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
