Go Motec go 6 Ignition coil drivers if you want big power.400rwhp is no problem for Autronic after that you start spending big on ignition and may run into the damaged engines seen in WA.Autronic has only two caps to drive 6 coils in their CDI unit .If your dealer says they can give you big power without the problems Danny and the Wholagan GTR had get it in writing.

Why did you remove the PFC?

The PFC was stolen along with the Z32 afm's, intake filters/piping and fuel pumps (as well a some nice damage to the car) during shipping/storage in Aus. I have a PFC that I can use to get the car running, but I want to go aftermarket as I am chasing big power.

I am leaning towards going for a "plug-in" Autronics. But I will be researching CDI's to see what I come up with. My mechanic is confident about Autronic's support, so we'll see what happens.

Thanks for you help. I would like to hear more about the problems associated with Autronics and their CDI's. What alternative can anyone recommend?

I have seen a Power FC equiped R33 GTR run 8's with a Power FC, it makes a little over 1,000 bhp using 2 X Q45 AFM's. It's called V Max if you want to check it out, so don't underestimate the Power FC.:P

Thanks for that, SK. I will consider the PFC, since I already have one, so I might was well use it. :P What is your opinion re CDI's with all three ECU's?

Thanks Roy, will do. However, I think we will be going through a certain workshop in Silverwater.

I keep hearing that, but my mechanic seems to think that he knows the right people when it comes to Autronic's sales and service.

thats correct...if you go to a good dealer you will get all the back-up you need for autronic.

Good one. Autronic are in Melbourne, with the primary support base coming from Ray Hall in Cairns. I'd like to know who the 'head office' in Sydney is, cos it just doesnt exist. Maybe that's the reason it's taking so long!

We never have problems with Autronic. Install it correctly and it works. Dont blame it for other areas of the car being lacklustre or inadequate. There are good dealers out there, and expert tuners. Dont blame the product because it isnt installed right or the shop cant tune it.

I chose the Autronic simply because I got a better deal on it than the Motec. The only thing negative thing to say about the Autronic is the cold start idle. Doesn't handle it very well but on the other hand it may be because we've just relied on a warm engine for driving...

We've recently put a Motec into a R32 GTR and it happily made 535rwkw.

Personally, if I was on a budget, I'd go the Autronic with CDI otherwise if money is of no consequence, run with the Motec.

Leewah do you know Karl Brandon at all?

I know Karl very well. Known him for bout 3 years now. He's help work on my car on numerous occasions and helped out many a late night before AutoSalons getting my car ready.

What Motec set up was used on that R32?

If I'm not mistaken, it was an M800 setup. Came from Japan with a F Con VPro which was quickly replaced with the Motec.

Karl is an absolute Champ. Both He, Nigel and Gerald have helped me out on many an occasion. Combined, their knowledge of cars, engines ect, is pretty impressive.

The MoTec that is used is an M800.

Leewah is correct. The car came with an F-Con V Pro from Japan, which was replaced by the MoTec.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.

      I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!

      Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
