The EO1 boost controller on my car now is only wire up, but not functioning at all, need to use a 50cent black host and a screew to control the boost. Why do i need to paid for that EO1 even it is not functioning at all?

The orginal GTR parts also missing for half a year.

I promise by BMT to replace those items too many times, but never get done

Of cos i do know they move to Brunswick, I been there too many times. The director of BMT called me last week and told me she will prepare the full detail invoice for me, But saddly, I heard from my friend that BMT is closing down since last thrusday. Try to call but the director of BMT not reponsed. She is driving a new Black S-class merc.

unfortunately this is what happens when people get involved in a trade when they have absolutely no idea...what happened to "our staff worked for nismo...were the best blah blah blah"I am interested to see what BMT or ex BMT people have to say about this incident.....Its really bad what has happened to you but i would say youve been screwed and youve lost out....Looks like youve been blinded by all the shit and glitter that has plagued the modified car industry of late and got done over.......most business that goes on in this country is a joke and its only a matter of time till the huge numbers of these second class shops get found out and go out of business unfortunatley taking some peoples money with them.....

i was under the impression that BMT were a reputable company, from what i read on these forums... even though i had not had any dealings with them....(thank god for that!)

arent there any people here who have had dealings with them?? i would like to hear what they have to say about BMT...

i am sorry mate but i think you got screwed over.

yeah I too was led to believe BMT were one of the best places to go in Melbourne? isn't that were DrDrift works that everyone swears by for Dyno and ECU remapping?

Sorry to hear too mate, I too have been stung by a "reputable" and "sworn-by" performance workshop in Melbourne...maybe because I'm from the country and seem like I am a total newbie....dun know.

All the best, hope something good can come your way out of all of this...

Sorry to hear about this Gary, and I hope you can get some resolution in the matter. We'll have to organise this white 32 GTR photoshoot sometime :cheers:

I heard Sam left BMT recently, in fact, I think he made a nice public post about it!

yeah geeez now i'm happy i'm a back yard modifier. 20 grand and only 330 wheel kw. for such a large amount of money why wasn't there a more formal contract? if BMT is closing down then you won't have much luck even if the same people start another business. You can't really go after individuals as such its more the business. Happens quite a bit, but not usually in this circle. Coz these people reply on a lot of reputation.

Bad luck.

look, there are a number of issues surrounding the closure of BMT etc, a few of which i know well about after having a chat to a number of people that have worked there.

And in saying that i am sure that is a lot i dont know either.

what has happened, is just that, whats happened.

Its not for me to go around spreading rumour, which there is plenty of already.

arent there any people here who have had dealings with them??

It's all been very recent for the most part (well some of it at least) so yes, BMT was an excellent workshop to go to.

I took my car there many times and was 100% happy with the service performed by Sam, Benny, Max and the other workers that laid hands on my car.

So troy, this time it's not as clear cut as you might think. It's not the workers fault (as is always the case)

this thread should be watched carefully i think.

Keep it very much on topic...

So in saying that, Gary, at least you know the people who were in management.

You can then chase your costs and will get them back, it wont happen quickly at all. Probably a year or two if you have to go as far as courts etc.

That's provided the people in question dont skip the country.

Sorry to sound negative i guess, but when you get screwed... you get screwed

That's sucks Impul, sorry to read about all the stuff & cash that is gone missing.

I hope you get your gears and money back.

I was also under the impression that BMT was a reputable workshop until I started hearing stories. It really makes you think twice who you should take the car to.

Was BMT registered as a " pty ltd " ? Or was somebody " trading as " BMT?

If they were not a company you can go after the individual.

If they were a company by the time the banks and any other debtors get paid there will be nothing left for you or any other disgruntled customers.

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
