Pieter gave good intel and excellent service.

I did a V8 Lexus Conversion with J&M Lexus V8 Conversions. I am more than Satisfied with the service i got from them. My car was taken care of and they did everything like they commited they would. Ill definitely refer people to J&M Lexus v8 conversions. Thank you for the great service!!

Lacks information, you only see photos, they need to improve and perhaps mention a rough estimate of any conversion they made

Really poor customer care...

Love the energy of the staff

Absolutely a place to steer clear off. Service really bad. 6 week job took 5 months. Took car to get it away from there before he breaks anything else.

Excellent

Before you take your car for a engine conversion to J@M lexus V8 conversions first read what poor service and quality I got and a possible reason for it.I took my L300 Mitsubishi camper to change the original 2 liter Engine with a 1UZ Lexus V8 with the installation of an extra tank. The guy that I contacted for the conversion is Pieter who is (i think) the manager in control. I say I think because this guy is a very smart talker and later on found out that what he says and what he do is two completely different things. I took my camper on the 5th of January 2018 to his workshop for the conversion and only got it back somewhere in May 2018. When I went to fetch it at his workshop the fan belt fell off. He bought a new one install it and we went home without incident. At first he indicated that the engine would have about 100 000 km on the clock but according to me (if one looks at the quality of the sump that is full of dents and the paint that is pulling of the fan belt pulleys my view is that the engine is much older and have many more kms on it) A week later when I drove the camper again the extra fan belt pulley that he had to install broke off the engine. I phoned Pieter and after a struggle he brought a new pully bracket that looked like if a 1 year old have played with a welding machine. The pulley shaft and bracket base was skew and any guy with some intelligence could see that it is not fit for use as a fan belt pulley. Pieter then took the camper back to his workshop and promised that he will inspect the whole installation himself (which he confirmed he neglected to do the first time) . The observed problems that was created by the conversion and that he had to correct at that time was the following :1) The backyard quality fan belt pulley and bracket had to be replaced with a workable unit.2) The engine with auto gearbox and oil sump was so low mounted on the camper that the camper could not move over a flat brick. He had to lift the motor and gearbox to rectify the backyard job.3) The gearbox cooling pipes to the radiator was not properly connected to the body and hanged loose for the first object in the road to catch and tear off. The pipes had to be rerouted.4) The exhaust that Pieter installed was badly installed and very near to the ground. He had to rebuilt the exhaust.5) One of the camper chasy beams was cut to install the bigger engine but it was not reinforced, He had to repair it.6) The speed meter that Pieter installed did not worked.7) It took very long to fill the extra tank that Pieter installed with petrol and they promised to installed an extra breather pipe.8) He indicated that he would modify the sump, which he never did at the end.Too make a long and nightmare story short when they finally brought the camper back to me the speed meter still do not worked, the extra tank can still not be filled and I found new problems like electrical cables that is lying on the new exhaust and being cooked, my camper water pressure pipe is burned of by the new exhaust and all cabling is badly connected with isolation tape and no proper terminations. The latest is that my camper do not want to start where I had to be towed back home on my way to camp.Another problem is that Pieter only answer his phone or whats-up messages as he pleases and there is no after service.I also believe that Pieter is using false advertisement because the pictures of conversions he shows on his website (and which was the reason I went to Pieter for the conversion in the first place) was apparently done by someone else about a year ago from which Pieter became the owner. I think my camper was the first that he has done.So J @M V8 conversions and Pieter have converted my camper which was 100% functional (just a bit slow) into a dis-functional piece of unreliable steal that is worth nothing at this stage.So in summary, my experience with J@M V8 conversions is that it is currently a no,no for any type of service or conversion and is run by incompetent backyard mechanics.
