What's the correct timing for the GT8 guys? Anybody sure?

My engine bay has a sticker that has some writing in Japanese and "10Degrees BTDC 650RPM" written next to it, yet from everything I've read including the ESM for the G35 - VQ35 Engines have 15Degrees BTDC@650RPM. Just doublechecking.

Cheers.

I can't help you at all.

But can you tell me what you think of your car? I've been seriously considering one lately. Since i've now gotten rid of the 34.

Whats insurance like? hows the CVT to live with? is it quick? considernig it's got an early model 350Z engine in it.

I'd go with what was written on the car before what i read some where else.

Yeah me too. The thing is, my engine scanner says currently running at 650rpm at 15Degrees even after resets, and I can't drop the ignition to 10Degrees at that revs. The car does seem to be a bit sluggish accelerating in the lower gears(maybe this is normal) but I thought a good place to start would be the timing.

What does everyone else have written on there engine bay and what car/transmission?

I cant find anything written in my engine bay but I do notice my car is a bit sluggish on acceleration especially from a rolling start and the transmission is in about 4th gear. I find that when I am in manual mode it hoots along when I am changing at 6-6,500 rpm. I think because the transmission is variable other than direct shift it tends to get in to 3 and 4th pretty quickly off the lights even when just putting along.

      Squeaky bushes

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Just install a grease nipple into the centre of the outer steel of the FUCA. Make sure the bushes aren't long enough to touch each other underneath that nipple. Cut a few mm off each if need be. Then you can push grease in there while it is all assembled. That was the very first thing I did (to all 4 ends) of the FUCAs on my 32 when I put Whiteline adjustable bushes into them. They would squeeze the grease out real fast, and I could squeeze it back in faster.

      @GTSBoy I found the issue (sort of) when I took apart the bushing again, it was completely dry inside! When I experimented with it, all the grease would push out when I would compress the bushings. I wonder if this has anything to do with me putting in the poly bush first on both sides and then pushing in the metal barrel. Maybe I should have put in the metal barrel first then the rubber bushings so the spread pattern is different.   It's fixed (for now).

      Can't put strut back

      By silviaz · Posted

      Just redid that entire job. 4 hours, but tightened everything properly. Had to jack the rotor instead of having the car on blocks as there was no room for the FUCA arms to tighten and the j arm. All good now. Cheers for the help!

      I would sell those side feeds before you hydra-lock a motor. I won't say too much about Yellow Jackets because I'll hurt people's feelings, however ask those that tune RBs day in/out what they think of them.

      The 1000ccs are side feeds but they're not currently installed, had my old factory ones in for leak testing purposes, only decided on them because front facing plenums and good top feed rail kits are out of my budget at the moment, are they really that problematic? Had a set of yellow jackets that lasted me 5 years, no real issues, only replaced them chasing this misfire issue that ended up not being ignition related 😄
