OK Guys, I really didnt want to post this about JSAI and wanted to give every benfit of doubt to Josh at JSAI, but i dont know what else to do really....

Basically i had concerns about the service as alot of ppl were complaining about JSAI, but after his very prompt emails back to me on shipping costs and picking up his fone regularly i was thinking it was ok to make the payment etc... and that he finally sorted out his business practice etc...

So i make the payment of almost $1000AUD on the 5th of may. He says he will get everything sent out first thing monday and going through air frieght will be arriving to New Zealand within a week... 5 days go by so i ask him if he has sent it and if i could get the tracking number.... which he asks for my contact number?? (Which i supplied in Paypal and in my initial emails) anyways, i provide this. Another few days go by and ask for an update. No reply.... 1 week passes and another email... no reply. A further 10 days go by and email him again for update... no reply.

During this whole time of various emails to him, everyday i have been on the fone trying to get a hold of him and leaving him voicemail messages. It gets full at one point, (obviously with other VM from customers as well) then a few days later i can again leave messages, which means he is available to clear these messages... still no reply and still no answer of his phone or reply...

Wat can i do now?. I mean, whatever the reason, wouldnt you think to update your customer on what the hell is going on? But total dead silence?? I think this would be the worst business practice ive come across....

Has anyone else dealt with JSAI and DID NOT RECEIVE the parts? Basically taking ur $$ and not sending you the parts at all? Whats the next steps i can take as i am in NZ. I have now reported to Paypal regarding the transaction...

To be constructive David, I'd see if someone who is a happy customer of Josh (JSAI) and lives nearby to Taren Point can

i) answer this thread then

ii) get your paperwork via E-mail & then

iii) go down to his workshop for you

This had to be done with a mechanical workshop at Drummoyne

JSAI has built such a good reputation on this forum with quality parts & quality packaging. But somehow, communication and time-allowances have gone south!

I recently brought a front bar lip from jsai, i had nothing but trouble getting it from him, and i live in west sydney.

I had to ring him every day, leave messages, email every day, and then i got ebay onto him. But it still took

him 4 weeks to get it to me. when i got it thought it fit perfectly, just keep emailing and ringing him till you get it.

Ok so another few weeks pass and its close to 2 months now after payment and still no response...

Basically its like ive been the victim of theft of $1300 from this guy. Still no answer to any of my calls or emails. One time he picked up but hung up straight away, calling him again and again, as usual no pickup.

Paypal is absolutely useless aswell and dont see the point, as after escalaing to them and them deciding in my favor, told me they cannot recover any of the funds.... great, so what now??? I dont have any other choice but to report this to the authorities?? And something like this im sure its going to be a very long winded process....

Looks like he said thank you very much to my $$ and there is not much i can do about this............

SO WARNING TO ANYONE WHO IS GOING TO PURCHASE FROM JSAI.... ESPECIALLY IF UR NOT IN AUSTRALIA... SIMPLY DONT. HE WILL ANSWER UR CALLS AND RESPOND TO EMAILS ON A DIME BEFORE U GIVE HIM UR $$ BUT AFTER YOU PAY HIM, SILENCE... NOT A WORD BACK....

Almost 2 months from payment and he said items should arrive within a week... yeah right.

I think its silly that you even considered buying from him.

With the amount of customers who have had the EXACT same thing happen to them...plenty of contact all up until payment was made, then nothing...its expected the same thing would happen to you, so you shouldnt be surprised, nor complain that he has stolen your money, because essentially, you knew this was going to happen.

sadly this is happening a lot and as a result his trading access on SAU has been revoked. he is no longer a registered, paying trader on this forum.

it is a shame as he makes some good parts at fair prices but we cannot continue to allow him to trade here in light of the number of complaints being raised.

To make you feel somewhat better, of all the complaints I know of from people who ordered and paid for parts and then got no communication and no parts for a long period of time as far as I know ALL of those people did eventually receive their parts of their money. some took a few weeks, some a few months but to my knowledge no body has come forward to say that they were left with no money and no parts. it by no means excuses this behaviour but it does suggest that at some point you will get what you ordered.

Continue to pursue him through whatever avenues are available to you and hopefully he will come good.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      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.
