Hi guys,

Anyone been in contact with Ground Zero (Martin) lately? I've tried contacting him since December with no success. I spoke to Carbon Car Systems who are next door and say they rarely see him anymore.

Anyone have any suggestions of other places i can get done around the same area?

I have used the search function and found customworx and zinus tinting but they don't have as much feedback online as Ground Zero does.

Cheers

Colin

I've tried ringing him numerous times! His phone goes straight to "person you called is not available" . I've left a message as well and contacted him on jdmst forums with no reply.

Would love to get him to do my car as well but summers ticking and i need tint asap.

Cheers

Funny...

I called him at 2.15 and he could remember the BsB VS2 that he tinted for me - and yet he sounded stoned.

Solvents don't do that do they?

Doesn't Daniel at Carbon Systems do tinting too? At least his network or TSI's network can give you a heads up.

You can also try Greg from Unique Auto Tinting. He's based in Westleigh (close to Hornsby) but does a great job and excellent prices. In fact, I just booked the Wife's 350Z in next Sat. And he does still honor his Skylines Australia discount - after all these years!

He did my GTR back in 2009 and true to his word, the tinting still looks like the day I had it done! Impressive!

I highly recommend is worth the trek.

Mate I can't remember honestly its been that long and I have had a heap of cars done there before, Im pretty sure he's not as low priced as Martin - but they also do an awesome job.

I think with most tinting guys the price varies depending if you go in summer or winter.

No luck with martin still, tried ringing a couple more times + sms's but its weekend so i don't really expect a reply. Will ask Carbon who they use, if its mobile would be even better.

Thanks for the recommendations guys! If i can't find anything local i'll definitely treck out to one of those places :D

As above.

Greg has tinted every one of my cars for the last 10 or so years, excellent work and excellent prices

YES. FINALLY. The first time someone that has recommended a shop (any shop) that is within 15min drive of me. I'm gonna ring them up and get it done ASAP. hahahahaha

by the way, do we need to be SAU member to get the discount and/ or mention skylines australia to get it? Or just rock up in a skyline =D

@CLNSKY come with me this saturday

I like Martin, top job everytime and he's cheap, I mean really cheap.. sometimes I rub my eyes to see if the job is any good for the price and it's great everytime.

I even tell my family members to go there, he offered to drive my aunty to the shops whilst he tinted her car.. Now that's service haha

just went to greg @ unique auto tinting on the weekend, he fit me in on saturday morning at 8am before he went to his workshop, excellent guy got my front 2 windows done in less than 30mins and still gives the SAU discount - in his words "ill just charge whatever that price was"

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
