Does anyone know of any tuners in Syd/Melb who are experienced with tuning Autronic gear. The car in question is a supercharged SWB pajero, thankfully my GTR is running awesome now.

It was tuned by a guy up here and now after 6 months later has blown an engine so im after someone who really knows the Autronic SMC's well. Has a plug and play with autotune, have since removed all the supercharger gear and installed a second hand donk with low k's, but really miss the power and torque the charger gave me so once down south which should be soon will be looking at putting it all back on.

Let me know if anyone has had some good experiences... :(

As posted by R31Nismoid and PurpleR32, Ice Performance have used Autronics in both my GTR and our show Supra, both of which have run 10 sec quarters on Nittos.

My GTR made 617rwkw and 593awkw at Melb AutoSalon in July and the Supra made 575rwkw in July and at Semi Finals made 525rwkw.

If you have any questions, feel free to give Nigel a call down at the factory on 03 9512 7591.

So where are P.E.T located in melb, and PurpleR32 who is nige?

Do these guys specialize in Autronic or just tune them ocassionaly?

yeah, P.E.T Modifications are in thomastwon, melbourne.

they are actually Autronic agents, so they're quite good when it comes to tuning the Autronic ECU.

fyi, all 3 of their 9 sec VLs are running autronic SMC.

dude

if you want the absolutely the best tuner in australia, go and see Joe Beninca at Beninca Motorsports in Surrey Hills melb...He was involved with the design of the ecu, introduced it to Group A racing here in aus and to europe...he is a mech eng. has worked on F1 engines in the past, and there is no better person to tune your autronic in aus...

I thought Peter no longer worked for Dennis at P.E.T, either way I have some pics of whats left of my engine after Dennis from P.E.T rebuilt it and then tuned my autronic smc you may want to see them before taking your car there.

Nik from turboworx seems very compitent in tuning autronic comps I've had no probs at all with his tuning and car is running better then it ever did to this day

I beleive you are right renegade. Peter does not work at PET anymore. From what I understand he is sub contracing for other workshops doing installs and tuning.

But I am sure they can get people in contact with him.

My car was actually at Dynomotive in Bayswater but they sub contracted him to fit and tune mine.

Turbotechnics in Newcastle is very good with Autronic. The guys name is Lincon and he at Mitchell Road Cardiff. He hires a Dyno in sydney to do his tunes so you can meet up with him down there.

Good Luck - People fly him over the country to tune their cars

    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
