PM user Yaah31 if you are NOR, he lives in Mount Helena, just got his done like 3 weeks ago, but i forget who by. The guy did a really good job and only charged $250 to do his car which is a 4 door, so will be cheaper seeing you have a coupe. Yaah31's car looks awesome now though!

Yeh dainsdabomb is good too, seen some of his stuff on some other Skylines, but he isn't mobile, you have to take your car to him. He quoted Yaah31 $250 as well, same as the the other guy except the other guy came to Matt

Maybe call TKO and ask them.

The only information in the Road Traffic (Vehicle Standards) Rules 2002 is :

Window tinting

(1) Glazing used in a windscreen of a motor vehicle must have a

luminous transmittance of at least —

(a) for a motor vehicle built after 1971 — 75%; or

(b) for another motor vehicle — 70%.

(2) Windscreen glazing of a motor vehicle must not be coated in a

way that reduces its luminous transmittance.

(3) However, subrules (1) and (2) do not apply to the greater of the

following areas of a windscreen —

(a) the area above the highest point of the windscreen that

swept by a windscreen wiper;

(b) the upper 10% of the windscreen.

(4) Glazing used in a window or interior partition of a motor

vehicle must have a luminous transmittance of at least 70%.

(5) Glazing in a window other than the windscreen may be coated

to achieve a luminous transmittance of not less than 35%.

(6) Glazing that has been coated to reduce its luminous

transmittance must not have a reflectance of over 10%.

(7) The luminous transmittance requirement in subrule (5) applies

to a vehicle instead of the corresponding requirement in the

relevant ADR.

(8) In this rule —

glazing means material fitted to the front, sides, rear or interior

of a vehicle, through which the driver can see the road, but does

not include a coating added after manufacture of the material;

luminous transmittance, for glazing, means the amount of light

that can pass through the glazing as a percentage of the amount

of light that would be transmitted if the glazing were absent.

AFAIK it's only light transmission (ah see above post :down:) so in theory colour wouldn't matter.

Of course, there's also the issue re 'mirror' tint or reflective films and light tranmission. The police can use a device which measures light transmissions through the windows...not sure if most cops use it or just yellow you to make you go to the trouble.

    • You know, that is exactly the thing that I was thinking a coupe of hours ago. I even had a plan for a meme, involving one big one, another big one, and the Old El Paso girl saying "¿por que no los dos?"
    • NoS, 2 of the big ones.
    • Oh, that's grim. Something bad has been happening there.
    • Put an endoscope down the hole and saw this. Not quite all around the bore but a good 60% at least. Chin to the chest and towards further disappointments I guess.
    • 2 does "sort of" applies, maybe......but looking at what parts would be needed for the swap to get engineered, registered, and insured, and basically that's everything under the car, the modifications the make it legal would be problematic and horrendously expensive, all for a street car that just cruises around and hits a few twisty roads on the weekends Also, from looking at the NSW rules and Regs, with all modifications that is required just to make the car safe and not twist itself to pieces, and then actually get registered for street use, may still be impossible nowadays As for 1, when you add in a fresh engine, fresh transmission, rear cradle and diff, tailshaft, suspension, brakes, cooling, and all the other fabrication required, your probably looking at up to $100k to do it right, all for a 20 year old MX5 that is over engineered and you would never be able to actually use the power it has on the street, much like your beastie, which I love, but you actually track that thing and can use all of its powers in anger, in a safe environment  Hell, the old Bogan Cruise Ship had more power than I could use on the street, and in hindsight, I went a bit silly on that thing, it didn't really need the 500hp it had for what I actually used the car for, it was fun, but basically unusable on the street if you value your licence  As for cams, yeah, I'll probably book it in for them to get installed and tuned soonish, like next month after MX5 Mania are back at work....... and yes, I've already sent a email to bin the turbo quote and quote instead to install cams and a new Fluidampr balancer that will suit the 2.5 better than the OEM 2.0 balancer that is swapped over for the 2.5 install, as the balancer needs to get pulled to time the cams it's a while your in there sort of thing I did think a bit about flex fuel for a laugh, but being na, and no where really around locally anymore to get E85, I've binned that idea, so no sweet sweet corn smells are set for the car I wish E85 was more of a standard fuel, it's better for the environment, better for tuning, plus that sweet sweet smell we all love As for fitting in the family, that's not needed, as everyone in the family already owns a car that can seat 5 humans comfortably enough, the MX5 is "my toy" As for buying a car that is already built, nah, I would rather pick and choose my parts, I enjoy the process, and in the big picture, the additional cost is well worth the enjoyment, and the occasional frustration, I get out of doing it, albeit with other people spinning the spanners, and me, just paying the invoice 🤣
