Heres a email i got back from motec qld recently.

The prices you requested:

M48 Clubman $2099.00

M48 Pro $2536.59

We do not quote trade prices via email - we would require a trade order on

letterhead.

I think these prices are pretty good, considering i can sell my profec2 and z32 for say 300 and get maybe and extra 100 off for trade price. That would see the clubman down to $1700.

I wouldnt be paying for installation so the only extra money i would be looking at is for a tune. Surely there is someone in qld who can tune it for alot less than the cost of the ecu let alone what roy is talking?

i'd love to have an autronic in my gtr, but i'll settle with the fcon v i have.

i still dont see why your going to bother with a power fc, motec. etc etc when you have this autronic in your car and the smc is perfect.

they are definatley not a hard compuiter to tune. so perhaps you just need to find someone worthy of doing it

Angus u are spot on mate, i know the Autronics is a good ecu i just cant find any decent tuners around to do it, i have forked out alot of $$$ for the smc, cdi, boost solenoid and coils to go swapping to something else. I have had people saying the Autronics are known for causing missfire issues and melting pistons, but i cant see this is true with soo many big power cars running them without dramas.

2630gts thanks for the prices, its not a big cost its the cdi and stuff that add up plus rewiring it is a pain (though i would do it myself).

decisions decisions :)

dont forget JEM in sydney.

adam has tuned some very powerful cars including brett's (forum handle and plates: BU5TER) who made 440-ish kw on pump. you might want to pm him and ask if he'd go back. at least you'll have a 1st hand response.

The only reason thet an autronic would be known for causing missfiring is because people dont hook up the ignition outputs correctly(they are a pain in the rse)Ive only once heard of an autronic causing a blown engine, and i used to fit them for a few years. The blown engine was mine, and i had a $50 autronic that was out of a burnt car, which worked perfectly except it had a damaged internal socket which caused it to go spaco at 4000rpm

talk to Brett West about tuning your current ecu, they were (last time I had my Stagea tuned there) the autronic dealer and were pushing me in that direction, lack of funds made my decision rather easy ! >_<

Something that nobody has mentioned. 99% of the time the best place to tune your engine is the people who built it. Or should i say you should get whoever is going to tune your engine to build it.

That way there can be no finger pointing. Not that you shoudl if things go bang. But if the bad engine builder is makign the tuners look bad, or vice versa...then how are you to know which party got it wrong. You could be walkign away from a great tuner only to get the same bad engine builder to do you over again.

Also, i suspect the tuner does a better job when he knows what is in the engine...gets a better feel for how hard it can be pushed etc

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
