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

Edited by darksky34

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"

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
