Not sure they'll do 10% but try solartint in belconnen.

They did my car so i can recommend them too.

Im pretty sure they wont do 10% and i wouldnt recommend it anyway. it looks good but its pretty hard to live with, unless you dont plan on reversing or driving at night

Something like 25/30%

I'm pretty sure the darkest legal is still 35% VLT for side and rear windows on passenger vehicles.

I've found metallic content reflects more heat/UV, has more of a mirror effect and more privacy.

Can also recommend Solar Tint, worth the spend for a quality ride, however my Datto gets the DIY treatment, tinting back windows sucks!

TOP CAT in Grenville Cct Phillip. I'll be ringing them on Monday to get a quote which I will post up here

The R34 GTT was done by them and it's awesome work. There small sticker is on the windows so I will give them a go for the 32 :D

Go to instant windscreens and tinting in fyshwick, shell knows terry aswell afaik. Good bloke his the manager there.

Would tint any percentage u want but Id say the darker would cost more.

Passenger vehicles limit is 35% +/-5% (30 legal, 29 illegal)

Goods vehicles (vans/utes) is 35% for front windows and you can have the rest 5% if u want. I think there's a refective level aswell which is like 8-10% from memory which is basically nothing. So no limo tint or chrome fade.

Any idea how much mate? For the cost of the tools/tint I'm considering giving it a crack myself, practice on my skyline.. if it turns out not too bad, move onto my daily. I've looked into it a bit, the good quality tints to get with good adhesive etc, still works out very cheap

    • Does it make a difference in your turbo having a shorter life if you have a cat converter as it causes that back pressure versus less/no back pressure with a decat? (Not sure if this is accurate) Also slightly different question if you went from a oem cat to a decat or vice versa will it require a tune? I heard if you change the dump pipe onwards it requires a tune?
    • No. Have only gotten as far as contemplating the task of having to put in the required fairly heavy wiring and fusing to run it (along with the big alternator), and preferring not to. But otherwise, it would be nice to have a little extra freedom as to exactly where the compressor is located and free up some space around the exhaust side of the engine.
    • Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.
    • Bit off topic maybe but has anyone had a crack at one of those aftermarket electric compressors ? Bit of a search came up with one put out by Speedy Air Spares. Looks interesting and looks as if you'd have to run a big arse alternator. Found this out after the fact as my air con compressor packed it in and soon after my alternator ! !
    • Yes. Needs new ports. Usually just achieved by screwing an adapter onto them. Be aware that any AC compressor that hasn't been used in a long time will very likely have dried out seals and will not hold gas. Oh, and obviously you will require a new receiver-dryer also.
