Reversing Lights

The tint on the rear window is so dark that the reversing lights are near useless. I'm not 100% but I think the tint is an after market as it is in two pieces. You can see a slight overlap, horizontally, in the centre of the rear window.

Has any one else got this problem? Or is it just living rural, without street lights, that exacerbates the problem?

I was thinking about putting in brighter globes but wondered about the extra heat. Probably would not be on long enough.

I'll be fitting a tow bar shortly so will have to cut out for that and do all the wiring so could cut the bar and put in a decent light or two.

my car came with the tinit i think its an option though. Probably its in the rural area. or possibly lousy eyesight. no offrncr though.

dont put spotlight thouhg it damn ugly i think. Just becarefull on putting a higher wat globes you dont want the housing to melt on you. i think the tint is a factory option. but is funny Alex the stageas i have seen all have the tint .

Like I said, they are not tinted, it is the color of the glass.

Hence, you cant ever get done for not meeting ADR's with window light trasmissivity. You can still be defected, but you dont need to replace the glass to pass a RWC or whatever.

The only stageas I have seen with tint are the ones that have tinted the front windows to match the rears.

Hence, refer to my above comments.

mine had tint on the rear window when i got it that looked very stock as well. i took it off and retinted it darker. my reverse lights are still visable, sounds like you've got tint that is too dark.

If I take the tint off is there the chance I could damage the demister element?

i severely doubt it. i took the tint off my skyline and off my brothers chaser without any professional help, and they both still work fine.

I think stageas only have 1 reversing light. My s1 has one white light and one red light. White for reversing and red fog light. Hence the crappy night vision when reversing. But don't mind me i am only an old bastard

      find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank.

      RB26 Block Filler rigidity/deflection test

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think you'll find we're confused about what you were trying to do and how you were doing it. I would have thought that block rigidity was something you measured while loading the block in beam or in torsion, and that you would do so before and after grout filling, to see if putting material in there created a "composite" construction with the expected rigidity increase. Notwithstanding that the true function of grout is less about gross rigidity than local (ie preventing bore deflection/splitting and tying the bores to the main bearing locations a little better, etc etc). It is nearly impossible to follow your description of what you've done without closing ones eyes and making "aliens" hand shapes in front of oneself to try to follow the manipulations you've made. It's still unclear to me what you were trying to prove.
