I only have one opinion about the concept of applying a light-reducing tint to a surface designed to allow light to pass through it in order for you to see where you're going.

f**king stupid.

Your statement is right but does not apply here!.......................

This product has spent many months inside the labs of University's studying the effects that it has on light passing through the tint. Each colour has been stringently tested under different environments. Each colour made available in Aus will have passed all ADR requirements. The product does not change the properties of light passing through it. They look tinted by day but look white again at night when the lights are turned on. Each car is given a certificate to show that the product used is Crystalite and is ADR compliant. This is what you show the cops when they ask. It won't be long before they are aware of the product and will know to ask you for the certification and leave you alone. They will book those using illegal means of tinting or not holding the Cert.

At least 50% of the cops have absolutely no idea about car modifications - they DO know about photoshop and that certificates can be easily forged, so even if your certificate is legit, they will probably ignore it.

On the side topic - I drove a Holden show car (V8 supercar replica) on the street once with 20% tint all round and on the front screen. Scariest drive of my life.

So it's basically another excuse for a cop to pull you over...

But then you can act like a smartarse and show them your certificate, so they will defect you for something else

I would say your driving style will attract their attention before tinted lights would.

'chubs' that car obviosly has illegal tint. Crystalite goes no where near that dark, ckeck the link in the first post.

Unless you're arguing that this tint does NOT reduce your headlight's light output then my response is an enthusiastic "meh".

"Looks white at night" just means the tint is colour neutral. Big deal. It's still dimmer. ADR approved or not it's still a silly idea.

Change the bulbs Einstien!

If the product is ADR approved In a lab, are your eyes going to pick up a difference? So your telling me that when you get bugs and dust on your lights you need to compulsively pull over and wash the lights? Its not a silly idea bugs would make it dull. Im not ragging on you mate you just don't get the concept is all. ;)

ok im preparing to get flamed, i saw one of the new commo ute's in the morpheous purple that had black tinted head lights, pretty sure the ones he had were illegal cause they were black, but it looked hot.

but then again guys how many fkn tools do you see that are driving around at night without realising, "oh i havnt turned my lights on yet" and yes coppers will prob hassle you for it until they learn about it

and +1 for banning saabs, i dont care for what reason just get them out of aus,

another thing ive noticed about this thread is im pretty sure everyone is focusing on the black tint, i reckon the crystal blue tint would look hot as on my black 34 and im pretty sure the cops wouldnt even think twice about any of the colours apart from the black one

A lot of guys get headlight protectors for cars and then tint them black, so that might be what some ppl are seeing.

As for the pic of the GTR posted on this page, the main reason those lights don't look good tinted is cause the front of that car looks like shit.

R34GT-T, if you get it done post up pics.

I have the head training guy coming from WA to showcase the product. Anyone in Queensland that would like a look or info let me know. He is coming mid March. I will take shots of the results and put em up for you all to flame some more.. lol. If you are a car detailer / dent doctor / stripe master or window tinter then this line may interest you as an extra to your business.

To me the Crystalite Tint looks like just another cosmetic styling like when ppl put clear, LED or black tinted tail lights.

I say leave the headlights as it is, unless it allows your headlights to be brighter, if not its just a screen protector for you lenses.

But if its your car and you want to tint it then go ahead we can't stop you.

    • So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
    • Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
    • Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
    • You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
