My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle.
That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle.
I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.
My aircon is now officially regassed.
As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam.
This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions.
Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented
Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented.
Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car.
Unfortunately I forgot.
After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again.
The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend.
I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this:
This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed.
Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise.
But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
