if your car is pre 1996 then tint laws are different

i pulled this a few times on my last car (94 r33) it had 10% tint on it, every time i got pulled over and questioned about it id just say it came like that, has been through compiance etc with it on... and they didnt say anything

but as mango said its also got alot to do with how u drive and ur attitude toward cops. when it comes down to it the police can yellow sticker you for just about anything

Gerds it is very unlikely that a claim would be knocked back for

limo tints as the car has to be claimed to be "unroadworthy" and there would have to be proof that the accident was caused because of the tints - it is not impossible but very unlikely...

crap! insurance companies will find anything to try and void a claim!

few years ago a friend in a vk calais put fe2 suspension in his car without telling racv, he pulled out of a street and cleaned up another car, his fault, and when the asser checked the car out, he jacked up the car and saw the suspension and said that it wasent on the policy and void his claim! Suspension had nothing to do with the accident, yet he got done!

Adam those two lines are created because it's maybe too stick to the window.

it holds the winscreen while it is half way up so it does not rattle, I think you can undo all the panel then loosen up the screw or remove it all but I would not recomend it.

as long as sand or rock doesnt sit in it, it sould be ok! it better be safe then sorry.

cheers

i have seen lots of import cars with these lines. My 32 & my previous 180sx had them too. I was at a tinting place a while back and he was looking at my windows and said to the other fella there that my car had these same lines on it that other people who had been in there.

I find it is worse if you wind your windows down while they are wet. I now allways dry my windows well before i put them down.

    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
    • Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞
    • No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
    • Well found out it’s a 60th anniversary gtst from that it came with 205-55r15
