Just thought I'd pop these up, for your perusal.

Just the doors were done, rest is factory.

Done by Instant Screens, cnr Warrigul and Keys...(Always had my cars done here)

Soz about the pic quality...camera phone!....actual quality appears pristine.

Front and rear bumpers get re-sprayed next week...woohoo!....I want them perfect. I'm fussy.

looks good. just as well you didnt do teh back. people that tint the rear windows of cars like this complain of crap radio reception. ( metalised tint halves the reception plastic film does not.)

Thanks mate,

The reception thing?... it makes good sense....so the standard tint that is already on there is plastic Chris..?

I get great reception, so I guess that rear black window is plastic?

Looks good superspit, i opted for 15% black all round and it turns out just fine - didn't affect the reception at all :D

In saying that, im probably going for a silver/neutral tint as soon as i can find someone who can do it.

Anyone in Sydney? :(

Thanx G33.....

On the job invoice mine is 'rated' @ 35%..........mmmm.

It's a little lighter (in reality) to the rear and privacy glass.

To avoid poor/low quality radio reception, Nissan would have had to (as Chris suggested) use a tint that contained no metal in it's makeup..for the rear glass.

Maybe your 'rear window' tint is not a 'metalized' version? ....I just don't know enough about tinting materials.

Yes..I reckon a silver tint finish on the glass would look shit-hot!!.....Hope you get it so I can see it!!

Cheers.

Looks good!

So you only did the doors, does that mean the rear side glass is still standard 'privacy' glass. Correct?

If that is the case it seems to match really well.

Just for the record, most Tint films are Metal based as this offers more life... Plastic films degrade quicker than the Metal Film.

Although the metal types reduce the effectiveness of Ultrasonic alarm use and radio reception..

Yes, just did the doors....everything else was factory; privacy glass and rear screen.....(I thought all 35's were like that??)

It does make the windows look quite dark there in the workshop doesn't it!?

iv wondered about the privacy glass, can we get defected for it? i mean its pretty dark! i would be keen to do the windows as well but dont want to draw too much attention from the boys in blue

mmm...it's a good point...none of us want anything but 'admiring' type attention, from the police.

But we drive V35's, and if we drive them well and within the legal road specs, with a good attitude we should see no issues.

But....if we drove the 32,33,34's....mmmmm...well now......that seems to be a different story, now doesn't it?

"G'day driver, would you mind poppin the hood....mmmm...yes.....yes.......very well hidden turbo's on these things....what's the retail on these?"

When you consider most of the 'private' Mobile Speed Camera Cars in Victoria are heavily tinted, I'd see the bas*ards in court.

They are never legal.

geeeesh guys...all this talk of 'legalities' is scarin the shit outa me....shall I go rip it off?

I got a really light reflective tint for my rears and reception is fine, and got the fronts tinted which all matches up great!

Also added the rear light overlays purchased from Blue_Batmobile (WWW.BLUEBATMOBILE.NET) via the G35Driver site in the states, if your tinter is not experienced with these then not a good idea to let them put them on. The material is a lot softer than normal tint and needs to be placed carefully and shaped to the lights. Mine turned out ok, a few permanent bubbles but nothing to complain about, I'll post up pics soon.

You can get away with illegal tint if you are lucky but God forbid, if you were ever involved in an accident, its just another reason for your insurer to knock you back.

Well if uncle Kevin finaly hooks me up with some cash for a change. I might do my bit for the local economy and get my front windows done. What tint did you use and its %, is it the same darkness as the back windows?

Hi...

the invoice says 35 pooooshent!.....It looks almost the same as the factory stuff....(or the stuff that's already there..lol), but it is definitely lighter...

As far as what it is......its' tint!....I no know!!!!!!!I yust pay, he gip me the car beck.

Hi All,

I want to get my 300GT sedan windows tinted shortly. Both places I've been suggest 'carbon / non metallized' tint for the rear windscreen , one however suggests it for all windows, just curious what you all do?

Reception is bad enough with these band expanders, so I don't want to make it worse at all, but seems like doing all windws in non metallized film mya be just a waste of money??

Cheers

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
