Go Motec go 6 Ignition coil drivers if you want big power.400rwhp is no problem for Autronic after that you start spending big on ignition and may run into the damaged engines seen in WA.Autronic has only two caps to drive 6 coils in their CDI unit .If your dealer says they can give you big power without the problems Danny and the Wholagan GTR had get it in writing.

Why did you remove the PFC?

The PFC was stolen along with the Z32 afm's, intake filters/piping and fuel pumps (as well a some nice damage to the car) during shipping/storage in Aus. I have a PFC that I can use to get the car running, but I want to go aftermarket as I am chasing big power.

I am leaning towards going for a "plug-in" Autronics. But I will be researching CDI's to see what I come up with. My mechanic is confident about Autronic's support, so we'll see what happens.

Thanks for you help. I would like to hear more about the problems associated with Autronics and their CDI's. What alternative can anyone recommend?

I have a PFC that I can use to get the car running, but I want to go aftermarket as I am chasing big power.

I have seen a Power FC equiped R33 GTR run 8's with a Power FC, it makes a little over 1,000 bhp using 2 X Q45 AFM's. It's called V Max if you want to check it out, so don't underestimate the Power FC.:P

Thanks for that, SK. I will consider the PFC, since I already have one, so I might was well use it. :P What is your opinion re CDI's with all three ECU's?

Thanks Roy, will do. However, I think we will be going through a certain workshop in Silverwater.

I keep hearing that, but my mechanic seems to think that he knows the right people when it comes to Autronic's sales and service.

thats correct...if you go to a good dealer you will get all the back-up you need for autronic.

Good one. Autronic are in Melbourne, with the primary support base coming from Ray Hall in Cairns. I'd like to know who the 'head office' in Sydney is, cos it just doesnt exist. Maybe that's the reason it's taking so long!

We never have problems with Autronic. Install it correctly and it works. Dont blame it for other areas of the car being lacklustre or inadequate. There are good dealers out there, and expert tuners. Dont blame the product because it isnt installed right or the shop cant tune it.

I chose the Autronic simply because I got a better deal on it than the Motec. The only thing negative thing to say about the Autronic is the cold start idle. Doesn't handle it very well but on the other hand it may be because we've just relied on a warm engine for driving...

We've recently put a Motec into a R32 GTR and it happily made 535rwkw.

Personally, if I was on a budget, I'd go the Autronic with CDI otherwise if money is of no consequence, run with the Motec.

Leewah do you know Karl Brandon at all?

I know Karl very well. Known him for bout 3 years now. He's help work on my car on numerous occasions and helped out many a late night before AutoSalons getting my car ready.

What Motec set up was used on that R32?

If I'm not mistaken, it was an M800 setup. Came from Japan with a F Con VPro which was quickly replaced with the Motec.

Karl is an absolute Champ. Both He, Nigel and Gerald have helped me out on many an occasion. Combined, their knowledge of cars, engines ect, is pretty impressive.

The MoTec that is used is an M800.

Leewah is correct. The car came with an F-Con V Pro from Japan, which was replaced by the MoTec.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
