using vht night shade 10.00 usd a can here

ya do a light coat let it dry / cure and wet sand w/ a 1500 grit sand paper. suggestion I wouldn't go more than 3 coats.

for it gets stupid dark. That is unless you are planning to replace every exterior bulb on the car w/ LEDS then it might be ok to go more than 3.

It's illegal here in the US too, but I am planning on using vht on every light housing on my s13 including headlights and instrument cluster. as well tint all the windows. ;p

I like that murdered out look.

I wouldn't go near windows with tint spray to be honest as its very easy to f**k up a surface so big... Best to get them properly tinted

Yeha the windows are getting real tint, not the vht. I might do a lot of Janky things but that is not one of them :laugh:

naw I really don't watch much tv at all. other than when I am hanging out w/ my pops.

Time is mostly filled w/ school work for my associates, work and a little sleep. Maybe once a week I have about 2 hrs to go to local car meets.

but imo murdered out cars are def where it is at. well that is until one of your x roommates friends doesn't see your car under a street light and accidently rubs against the drivers side 1/4 panel. lol

    • Hi everyone, I’m Dave from Canberra. Here's a few pics of my 1992 R32 GTST coupe which I imported back in 2006. Only mods so far are HKS Hi-power cat back exhaust, K&N filter, ATC Volanti steering wheel, Pioneer stereo, amp and sub. This was my daily driver up until 2015 and sadly hasn’t been driven at all in the last 5 years due to marriage, work, and kids taking up most of my time and spare cash.As such its in need of a bit of TLC and one of my goals for this year is to get it back to running condition and maybe look into club/historic rego. I’ve joined SAU so I can ask a few questions along the way (although I promise to google Current Problem +SAU beforehand!)
    • From talking to the mx5 guys the NC doesn't actually need bonnet vents like the earlier NA and NB models, due to a better designed cooling system and undertray design There's plenty of them used as street cars and weekend track toys running anywhere from around 170 to 250kw with stock non vented bonnets, I initially was going to get some bonnet vents, but, as they are not actually required, I'll put vents on hold for a while and just monitor temps, though I do need to get something to actually monitor engine oil temps though, coolant temp can be pulled from the OBD2, but the oil gauge in the car is not actual oil temp, it is only a calculation based off coolant temp and RPM ☹️ They do recommend upgrading the radiator, which I have already done with a triple pass, and the only other thing they recommend for a street car is heat management, like I talked about above to protect bits in the engine bay from radiant heat, and to either replace the nearly 20 year old plastic coolant expansion tank, which I have done, or get a aftermarket alloy jobbie for some bling They did also say that if I wanted to track the car on occasion a oil cooler and sump baffle would be required, and as I already have had a sump baffle installed when the engine was out......... I'm going to get a oil cooler with a thermostat....... just in case I do eventually track the car, but probably not, but still maybe...🤪
