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

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
