    Haven't worked out to directly link to posts with the new software yet, but check out this page about halfway down.

    It's been a couple days so you probably wouldn't find it too easily with search, but the issue had a big discussion a couple days ago.

    SA tint laws changed on 01 January 2010.

    Maybe edit the first post to reflect these changes.

    Cliff notes:
    Allows for darker tint on the front drivers and passengers windows.

    News Release
    http://www.premier.sa.gov.au
    Hon Michael O'Brien
    Minister for Employment, Training & Further Education
    Minister for Road Safety
    Minister for Science and Information Economy
    Monday, 21 December 2009
    NEW WINDOW TINTING LAWS FOR SA MOTORISTS
    New laws regarding car window tinting will come into effect in South Australia on January 1 2010.
    Road Safety Minister, Michael O’Brien says the changes will bring South Australia into line with window tinting laws in the other states.
    “The lack of window tinting uniformity has caused a lot of confusion, both in the industry and with car owners who’ve moved here from interstate,” Mr O’Brien said.
    “South Australia will be reducing the minimum visible light transmittance (VLT) from 70 per cent to 35 per cent for the driver and front passenger windows to allow for a consistent national approach from January 1 2010.
    “Other states already allow a minimum of 35 per cent for these two windows and this change will mean we’ll have the same window tinting laws that apply everywhere else in Australia,” Mr O’Brien said.
    “Window tinting is measured by the percentage of visible light which can be transmitted through the window - the lower the percentage, the darker the tint that can be applied to the window.
    “The VLT requirements in South Australia for rear passenger windows and the front and rear windscreen is already in line with other jurisdictions and will not change.
    “All states require a minimum VLT of 75 per cent for the front windscreen. This is the minimum requirement set in the Australian Design Rules.
    “Other new amendments also include minor changes to the vehicle standards rules to clarify the test for parking brakes; recognise the Australian Standard for natural gas fuel systems and adopt a revised motor vehicle stationary exhaust noise test procedure,” Mr O’Brien said.

    you have got to be kidding!

    My dad just bought a Liberty GT STi from over here and had to remove the tint on the drivers window to pass Regency in SA only 3 weeks ago.

    I'll call him tonight and let him know. He's not going to be happy!

    Question Re: FAQ - National Code of Practice - NCOP Thread

    So am I reading this right? WA has adopted the NCOPs and in combination with the ADRs has no other laws that affect modifying a registered vehicle in WA?

    Ultimately the DoT have final say on what you can and can't do, however they VERY closely follow the NCOP, only deviating slightly when you have written proof (ie from a manufacturer that the specs they have on their system differ to what you have in writing), and occasionally upon written approval from an engineer.

    However normally speaking if the NCOP says you can, you can, and if the NCOP says you can't, then you can't.

    ADR's really only come into play regarding things like emissons, noise, seatbelts, airbags, steering wheels.

    How does the RTA exactly justify engine modifications as a possible threat to the safety of road users? (Well, aside from throwing flames out the exhaust). Oh no, the engine imploded because I ran 32psi of boost. How is that any different to some fool forgetting to put oil in and destroys his engine that way?

    Can't wait to move states!

    In regard to engine mods, you don't have to wait. I think you will find the current RTA engine rules are much the same as NCOP.

    Because it increases the power that the vehicle was designed for.
    Manufacturers design a vehicle wholistically.
    ie the brakes are large enough to retard the vehicle from the speed that the engine is capable of propelling the vehicle by.
    The suspension is designed the same way.

    You effect the engine & you effect the others, which should be upgraded as well, wheras you can upgrade the suspension & brakes without effecting the engine.

    My pet hate is seeing high hp cars with no work done on the suspension and braking capabilities.

    And since when has anything been about justification

    you don't think say.. a 10 sec capable car, in idiot hands, is any more dangerous than a 20 second car? (it'S not the speed they eventually get up to, it's how quickly you can get into trouble... 32psi kicking in around a roundabout or intersection does not always = happy bystanders..)

    engine mods are mostly bad due to emissions.. and noise.... and cars propensity to move forward partially sideways with lots of smoke coming out the back

    engine mods are definitely a threat to the safety of P-platers



    I suppose you would be happier with japanese laws? where engine mods and ESPECIALLY engine transplants are forbidden?? eveyr modded jap car you see is illegal (they just police it in a very lax manner.. unless something goes wrong, then you are in a ton of shit)
