Hey guys, Ive ordered and paid for the ztune front bar from josh, but that was almost a month ago now. I understand that he could be extremely busy, but i havent been able to get in contact with this guy at all except for when i paid for it and sent him the proof of tranfer, which even then he didnt acknowledge that i had given him the money or that he had received it.

So at the moment he has $600 of mine, and i have nothing, and all i want to do is get in contact with him but he doesnt answer his phone or reply to my emails.

Has he vanished into thin air or something? what the hell am i ment to do?

I know its only been a month but i have no idea whats going on.

Does anyone know him or know some way i can contact him?

Thanks.

Sorry about the rant.

Hey mate, sorry to hear about this, but your not the first.

read this:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Di...er-t252571.html

seems like he doesn't go out of his way to keep his customers happy nor fulfill their orders in any urgency either. They are a business trader on this site and i do hear that he does good work, but because of his attitude towards hs paying customers, i would NEVER purchase anything from him..... ever!! Hope you get sorted out!

Thanks, yes i had heard he wasnt to good service wise, and i still bought it anyway because he seems to be the only person i can to find who has the ztune bar for a gtt lol.

how is this guy still in business??? fair enuff his products are good but ive read nothing but bad things about his customer service

he has now branched out to ebay aswell

If hes going to be like this on EBAY

Watch his feedback drop like 3rd period FRENCH :P

Hope it gets sorted for ya buddy

yeah just really pathetic business sense, if it was me, i would deal with someone that values me as a customer, no excuses for not being able to get to the phone, hire a goddamn secretary PERIOD

...like the one at P/play?

Does anyone have his home number or lives near him or his shop or knows him or anything?

Other then wait or call the bank to try to get my money back theres nothing else i can do. He wont respond to my emails, phone calls, sms's.

I dont really want my money back because i really really want this front bar.

Thanks

I am in exactly the same boat as you. I am patiently waiting for my Z-tune front bar, I believe it's been over a month now. I am pretty sure I am going to get the bar, but I would have preferred it when it was promised.

Cheers.

not to mention some communication....

this really f**ks me off.... if you cant get the work done.... dont take it on, OR tell people when they will get things... (and i don't mean lying to shut people up) simple really

people are expected to wait for over a month with little to NO communication, that is pathetic! how hard is a phone call?

in my industry (chef) people wont hesitate to complain, make a scene and walk out without paying if their food is late, why do people think its acceptable for car parts?

Exactly, i dont have a problem waiting, but atleast tell me, dont keep me in the dark about it. As far as i know he could of ripped me off, he took my money and now he wont respond and i havent received anything.

And because of this i now wont buy anything else off him because theres no way to know whats happening, which is a real shame because he has a few other parts i was interested in.

Yeap, I agree..but i believe the reason why so many are patiently waiting for his parts is because they all think he's the only person selling the kit that they wanted. I could have got the same kit that is 10x times better in quality than his at the same price but I need to send from overseas(which detract most ppl from) which I wouldn't mind at all after receiving and looking at the kit made by jsai

Didn't even bother to fit onto my car..

Thats not seriously how you received it was it? thats pathetic, i thought everyone said the quality of his parts were good?

That looks like its been chewed up by a dog.

wow that is a damn shame, i really wanted this bar also, where else did you say you can get it from? im sure that if the quality was good and shipping wasnt stupidly expensive people would buy it from overseas, as it is, a lot of us buy mechanical parts from japan and what not, so im sure youd find people buying kits from overseas too

on another note, that bar is for a gtr, is there anywhere else other than JSAI that sells them for the gtt?

In the few weeks i tried tracking one down for a gtt i couldnt find anyone else in aus (Correct me if im wrong)

And i dont wanna buy overseas cause i dont feel like dealing with shipping and the shitty australian dollar.

That being said im pretty sure i couldnt find any overseas either lol

^^^ Correct!

OLD SAYING:- It takes 10 years to develop trust. It only takes 10 minutes to lose it!

OK I'll admit it! I was one who used to recommend JSAI!

Perhaps working with F/G affects neurotransmitters in the head?

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
