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

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
