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?

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
