Hi,

Has anyone used "Sylvia Engineering" in Essex? I was rec. him by a mate - comments please.

Geoff.

Yep, they've done most of the big work on my car - autobox rebuild, cambelt/waterpump change, servicing, auto-manual gearbox conversion, painting/fitting 99 spec front and fixing the odd electrical gremlin that defeated me.

*creaking sound as Pandora's Box is opened....*

 

:)

I have used them for over 3 years,and never had a problem they done my Turbos ,gearbox and tuning.

Thanks for that. Have you used his air induction kit?

Geoff.

Yes I have it on my car. It's a snug fit, but the filter area is huge. Probably not much different than any of the other aftermarket filters in reality, but the paper elements are very cheap to replace.

I have just had my new Turbo's etc.,done at SE.They did a brilliant job,so good infact I recommended them to Tony Lack & his car is with them at the moment.Praise could'nt be enough..Vinz!

they are crap.

So are R33s!

Why Senna what's your experience???

Geoff.

They supplied and fitted a new engine for me. While the work they did was fine, in MY experience, it was the broken promises of returning phone calls etc, etc, fkin etc, that pissed me off.

Hello? I'm paying you alot of money, how about some customer service?

Speak to Peter, sound him out and make up your own mind, be warned, he likes to talk and sometimes sounds like a salesman, imho, not a guy who runs a Z workshop.

 

I don't like writing negative things but you did ask and if were me asking the question, I would want the good AND the bad.

 

The thing to remember is this is just MY OWN opinion from MY dealings with them.

 

HTH.

Geoff, with SE it seems from this forum that it's a case off "luck of the draw" basically they can work wonders on Nissan's in general but have a reputation for really poor customer relations to SOME people and yet really good to some others, yer pays yer money and takes yer chances just like any other company i guess ;)

cheers

smithy :cool:
