Best Gtr Tuner In Oz?

[Spunky Munky]

It's a persona choice, however, I have heard many good things about Croydon Racing Development.

sorry i meant drivability as in cold starting etc isnt a huge big deal, i would like it good but its not something i "need".

the rest of the tuning i want good obviously.

[N I B]

I think Racetorque are the State distributor for Autronic in WA and Lane really knows his way around them.

That said most of us tuners in WA can give you what you need.

[Gts-t]

Heres a email i got back from motec qld recently.

The prices you requested:

M48 Clubman $2099.00

M48 Pro $2536.59

We do not quote trade prices via email - we would require a trade order on

letterhead.

I think these prices are pretty good, considering i can sell my profec2 and z32 for say 300 and get maybe and extra 100 off for trade price. That would see the clubman down to $1700.

I wouldnt be paying for installation so the only extra money i would be looking at is for a tune. Surely there is someone in qld who can tune it for alot less than the cost of the ecu let alone what roy is talking?

i'd love to have an autronic in my gtr, but i'll settle with the fcon v i have.

i still dont see why your going to bother with a power fc, motec. etc etc when you have this autronic in your car and the smc is perfect.

they are definatley not a hard compuiter to tune. so perhaps you just need to find someone worthy of doing it

Angus u are spot on mate, i know the Autronics is a good ecu i just cant find any decent tuners around to do it, i have forked out alot of $$$ for the smc, cdi, boost solenoid and coils to go swapping to something else. I have had people saying the Autronics are known for causing missfire issues and melting pistons, but i cant see this is true with soo many big power cars running them without dramas.

2630gts thanks for the prices, its not a big cost its the cdi and stuff that add up plus rewiring it is a pain (though i would do it myself).

dont forget JEM in sydney.

adam has tuned some very powerful cars including brett's (forum handle and plates: BU5TER) who made 440-ish kw on pump. you might want to pm him and ask if he'd go back. at least you'll have a 1st hand response.

The only reason thet an autronic would be known for causing missfiring is because people dont hook up the ignition outputs correctly(they are a pain in the rse)Ive only once heard of an autronic causing a blown engine, and i used to fit them for a few years. The blown engine was mine, and i had a $50 autronic that was out of a burnt car, which worked perfectly except it had a damaged internal socket which caused it to go spaco at 4000rpm

[r33_racer]

if your in perth go see Glenn Campbell, he tunes and use autronics. He is very reputable and a good bloke.

[Gts-t]

R33 racer, who tunes your car is it brisbane turbo tune? Do you know anyone in brisbane who can tune motec, matty spry?

overpowered, if i bought the m48 clubman what extras would i need to get from motec to get it all working???

meh, impossible to answer tuning is like shagging many ways to get the same result...

[Ryan1200]

Matt Spry can tune motec, he tunes my datsun with m800 perfectly...

[Tangles]

talk to Brett West about tuning your current ecu, they were (last time I had my Stagea tuned there) the autronic dealer and were pushing me in that direction, lack of funds made my decision rather easy !

Something that nobody has mentioned. 99% of the time the best place to tune your engine is the people who built it. Or should i say you should get whoever is going to tune your engine to build it.

That way there can be no finger pointing. Not that you shoudl if things go bang. But if the bad engine builder is makign the tuners look bad, or vice versa...then how are you to know which party got it wrong. You could be walkign away from a great tuner only to get the same bad engine builder to do you over again.

Also, i suspect the tuner does a better job when he knows what is in the engine...gets a better feel for how hard it can be pushed etc

thanks for the heads up man, excellent to hear. Roughly what did he charge, pm me if u like.

thanks ryan
