do you think 5% tint would cause me any problems (other than from the police of course)?

what i mean is seeing out, and ive been told that when its horribly dark with no lights at all that i wont be able to use the side mirrors id have to wind down my window but i dont care, anything other than that people?

thanks.

thanks saff....

so how do police defect you for tinted windows? surely wouldn't have a light metre or anything.. or is it just one of those "judgement" things? Does that mean that you can have tinting that is like a mirror to people looking inside the car? I just hate being stared at, and like the feeling of being able to see people that can't see me...

5% tint is like the ambulance tint. I got 20% all round on my car and its pretty dark. The guy there said he done 5% tint for his mate and a week later he reveresd into a $200,000 mercedes.

The problem you are up against with a lower tint is the legality and finding someone to do it.

Not sure how dark 5% would be but I know my 20% rear screen does little else for my eyes than make objects appear sharper (although that could be because it has been washed!)

With my 35% on the sides, the only time you can see in, is when there is light straight through at eye height on the other side and even then it is a silohette (sp?)

Perhaps pop down the local Ambulance station and ask for a look from the inside although they may not know the definate tint?

Here's my before and after shots from the tint. :aroused:

Might I say it was a damn good job they did.

For those of you on the list that haven't booked in yet please do so shortly.

You know who you are! You're the people driving around with excessive sun glare and hi in cabin temperatures.. ;)

i will be taking my car back shortly to get the drivers door window done again...there are a couple of marks unfortunately.

i havent exmained the rest of the car yet, i hope there wont be need to replace the others...not too happy about going there twice!

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
