rusty360 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I think I'll go get it tested by a tint place with a VLT meter and go from there. I have read that some mazda 6 wagons have a light tint behind the drivers seats. This could be why these windows are to dark. Cheers for the info!

AllTorque Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 If it is a factory tint it is ok. It will have “AS3” on the safety mark. If it is a film it won’t be factory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of cars have privacy glass from new, so you're tinting tinted windows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllTorque Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 That is not factory tint. Looks pretty dark. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty360 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Yeah it's got film on it, but I'm wondering if it's got film over a factory tint. Only one way to find out. Now how to get them off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Youtube it, will be covered for sure. I have a curly one. Car is going for cert at some point, I want a different plate on it that it currently has. Can't get new plates made or put on to car till it is licensed. Can't get licensed till WOF'd. Can't get WOF till get cert, don't want old plate on cert plate. Currently only have one PP as it was on a trailer. Boom. Will this be a case of paying for a new cert plate the day after it's installed? Will try my luck with Licensys, but it doesn't seem like the sort of system that has wiggle room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Can you take it for a cert with no plate on it? That way they would just record the VIN number? /I really don't know and can't contribute in this case but I am interested in the answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can request your plate is made without a rego number on the plate. PS - are you going to get a PP for your car? I might know a guy who MIGHT be able to arrange your new PP on it. (I'm not promising but I can try) edit - FWIW - a mismatching rego number is one of the only 2 things that is not required to match on the cert plate for a WoF. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Handy to know about not needing a rego on the cert plate. I will PM you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKtrips Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Yup temporary seat removal is the only other thing. Gold star for Terry. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxPower Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Hi there, I have got spindles, stubs, discs, and callipers off a 1992 L300 to go onto my 1983 L300, the problem is the upper ball joint hole is larger on the new suff (there is no ball joint that fits off the shelf) can I get an engineer to make some hard tapered adapters like these? I hope so because they are getting made next week. https://www.doctordiff.com/a-body-upper-ball-joint-tapered-adapter.html Have read that the upper ball joints don't have as much stress as lowers so should be sweet? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. I'm presuming you mean for cert? But regardless of if WOF or cert, unfortunately no you cannot. The problem with them is if you pull the ball joint out of the stub and the tapered insert falls off, then you might not notice and do the joint up and it might pull up tight but there will be play (and a lot of it) once you start driving.
