Hey guys,

Wondering if anybody knows places that pass 15% tints for pink slips near Parramatta?

I decided to get my car pink slipped legit, as last 2 years the guy didnt even test the brakes, and now the guy's telling me: FAIL for tyres and reckons i have 12-13% tints on the front windows.... am guessing they're 15% tints. Tyres is legit, and shall have replaced, but the tints is a bit silly to me, i bought the car with the tints and don't like prospect of forking out plenty to have 'em taken off and put back.

PM me even.

Thanks

Hey George,

What I don't understand is that you state that you want to do a legitamite pink slip, then try to find a way out when you are knocked back on something that isnt legal?

If you are going to get it passed legally, get it done 100%

otherwise go to the bodgy bloke in the first place.

BTW - there is a reason why 15% is illegal. It lowers the amount of light coming into the car so much so, that your vision is reduced considerably. This reduces the safety of you and others around you on the road.

I would hope you wouldn't put a couple of hundred dollars in tint infront of your life or those of others on the road near you.

It doesn't matter so much what you deem important. Someone who has spent countless amounts of time/effort has figured out what the rules are then some git politician has made that law to protect people in this society.

The only way around it is if you can convince them it was done prior to 1 August 1994 (dependant on car model this may or may not be possible)

If you can't understand the problem/law, maybe you should study it here.

Else, you must keep your car maintained to the correct standards.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
