Hi guys

Was looking into getting some Taillight tint for my 350gt... I want to get something light so my lights are still visible at night. Have seen some pics on google images and the tinting looks great. What are your opinions? Do light tinting (30%) attract cops? Am not looking to go the full blackout rout as i have a CIA and a few other mods installed already.

What are the chances of a defect?

Thanks

There is a guy on G35driver that offers all sorts of tint for lights and roof vinyl covers etc - you can find all of his stuff here: http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y42/BlueBatmobile2005/

His user name on G35driver.com is bluebatmobile, you could PM him as well.

I think I read somewhere in here that it is illegal in NSW but I could never find that post again, maybe others can advise!

I have tint on my rear lights. The cops don't bother me. But that could also be because they see the glowing blackview recoder in front of the rear view mirror.

I will point out that it may be better to get the tint where the bulbs are not covered but the rest of the light is. It does lower the strength of your lights if you cover the whole thing.

When I got mine done, I thought that my lights stopped working and had to get someone to check. As I could not seem them from the rear view mirrors anymore.

Still, it does look really good.

Sean great stuff those tints look awesome though i bought blackout tints before reading this post. I might have to create the 4 holes myself onto the tints i have as its hard to see the break lights when i try those tints on.

No worries mate, i'll be getting that vinyl very soon. Yeah it comes with the 3 holes already cut out, shame you didn't post before you bought! I'm sure it will come up looking good though,

You can buy already cut-to-fit vinyl tint, that you just apply to the taillight, Id suggest using something like a hairdryer to heat the vinyl up to mould it into the taillight if you have the taillights that arnt flat across, but Im pretty sure any taillight tinting is illegal in all states? Hell im in W.A. and if its banned here then it would have been banned in the eastern states ages ago before W.A. We are still aloud to use radar detectors in W.A. o.0 XD but yea anyway, search ebay "G35 coupe Smoked taillight tint", fairly easy to do, plus just heat+rip off if ever stickered, f*k spray!

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
