Just had mine tinted today and I've forgotton already what the percentages were :D

I Think the legal was 35% light transmission, 15% is a common illegal light transmission film.

I went the legal tint this time.....sick of unwanted police attention

yes... it's 35%... the darkest legal tint you can have in your car.. all u need to do is go to your local tint place and get them inspect and make a written note saying that your tint is indeed 38% and is LEGAL tint.

it would suck if u need to pay for the defect.

I believe it is 35% sides and 25% or 30% rear. I have often wondered this though, how did they measure it? The only way I could think of it being done is with a light beam of some sort and seeing how much it lets through?

Hi i am a widow tinter in Ballarat .. there is no legal tints now .. but on my skyline i am have 20% rear to the back seat and the front doors are 30% they say as long as you have three mirrors you can have it as dark as you want .. But yes it used to be that the car had to be 35% legal shade .. go and see the RTA and tell them what is going ..they should have a light metre and by rights should cancle that defect notice if ur only have 38%..

For a Coupe. ONLY the passanger and driver windows have to be 35%. The Smaller ones and the rear one can be as dark as you want.

Not quite true there my man! well at least not here in SA, I had some seriously dark tint in the quarter panels and the back, and no tint at all in passanger and driver windows and I was told I had to take them out, so...hope its different over there.

Yeah if you were in melbourne you would not have any trouble with that. I got told this by Tint-A-Car so they can only offer to do the car legally.

There was an R32 GTR in at the Tint place I was at having the tint removed from the rear quarter windows and rear screen for the pit inspection as it was deemed illegal, law probably varies from state to state, but i'm pretty sure 35% light transmission is legal in WA.

(They test with a tool that kind of resembles a G clamp but with an opening just big enough to slide over the glass, all tint places will have them)

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
