do u goto ur mechanics and they use a controller to advance ur timming ??

after reading the service manual it says u need a diagonists controller to update ur timming ??

so only a mechanic can do this ?

im pretty sure my 25de is running rich because the exaust (extractors hiflow cat 2.5 catbak + hotdog + supercat cannon it pops and splutters when u back off the throttle or gear change ?

is it possible to just advance the CAS anticlockwise and do it by ear until it pings ?? how safe is that ? lol because i dont know anyone who has one of these controllers

is it possible to just advance the CAS anticlockwise

Yes.

and do it by ear until it pings

No

how safe is that

Completely unsafe

lol

:)

Go buy a timing light. :D

obviosly...

but what i was asking was since reading the service manual it doesnt mention a timming light at ALL i have one but i have no idea where to plug it into...

it says u need a diagonistics controller and u plug into the TPS and then u plug into the unit at the back of the head... and u dial in the numbers on this unit... and then u adjust the CAS accordinly...

Well the timing marks should be on the pulley at the front & bottom of the engine. There are usually six or so marks. Find out which is TDC & the number of degrees between them. This should be in the manual somewhere.

The timing light needs its induction loop clipped to the feed to the #1 spark plug. High voltage is better, but a good light will work off the low voltage feed.

You don't need half the shit Nissan say you do...

its heaps confusing hey...

well anyways heres wat i did as a little experiment... how safe or dangerous it might of been i dont care...

i marked up exactly up where the CAS was positioned it was about half / 3/4 of the way advanced... im running 100octane... so i fully advanced the cas as far as it could go... took it for a drive high revs 1st thru 2nd slowllyy holding them sorta thing not like power ON n then offf it seemd quicker i guess had more of a bark to the exaust note and made a few smoother and other weird noises n stuff...

and then i fully retarded the timming just to see how it went WOW 3000rpm n then nothing wouldnt rev as to speak... like it was struggling and the exuast was going crazyyy pop cittyy and they were the loudest pops ive ever herd come from it...

anyways also my idle has been kind of high and i can tell that the computer is always adjusting for it... so while the car was at a hot runnign temp i turned in the idle vac screw just a little bit so on my needle it sits at wat i believe is 800rpm..

as soon as u rev the engine and back off the idle falls to 1500 and then slowly dies to 1200 and then 1000 but u can tell its still revving a bit high... so i think by putting it to 800 like that it will fix it..

altho it will be interesting to see wat my cold starts will be like because it seemed from turning off n starting the car that it was struggling a little bit... maybey the ecu has to learn this ?

Lol man,

Trial and error is an expensive way to play with engines :thumbsup:

i started the car this morning and because id adjusted my cold start it kicked over n run rough at 200rpm sorta thing.. but the ecu was fully correcting it the idle went up to 1200 slowly and then sat back down on 1000rpm n then sorta dropped a little bit more..

im guessing it will LEARN how to perfect this now ?

They did..

The timing light needs its induction loop clipped to the feed to the #1 spark plug. High voltage is better, but a good light will work off the low voltage feed.

he just didn't mention the allen key bit :action-smiley-069:

On older cars, especially ones with dizzys, you connect the timing light onto the igntion lead that goes to the first spark plug. Our engines work off indiviual coil packs, they dont have leads. There is a special white wire in your harness near the back of your motor that you are meant to connect the timing light to, to get a correct reading.

Since this is an n/a engine, ping isnt going to be a devestating to you so even if it sounds dodge trial and error can work if you do it right. With out knowing anything about your setup, so i can be held responsible, but a rough guide would be to have the cas at around 3/4 and it should be okay. My bro runs his maxed out on his rb25de but it never pings, so see what happens.

also with the idle, the motor wont learn to adjust the idle. When you advance ignition timing the idle increases, and vice versa. There is an idle adjustment screw on the throttle body to adjust the idle correctly, once you have the right timing dialed in then adjust your timing to suit.

yeah i tryed the CAS on max went the same i think ??

my cold starts have adjusted themself so it fires up at 1000 - 800rpm.

ummm

ill go have alook for this white wire now..

wont the fuel econonmy be shit if i run around with the CAS on max ?

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
