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

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
