Hey all, my consult cable finally arrived today and I've been playing around with it. I noticed that the timing sits at 15 according to the ecu but if you rev it in neutral then let off it drops to between -3 to 5 depending on what it's revved to then goes back to 15. As this is my first skyline I'm not sure if this is normal, from searching it seems like it isn't? Could this be caused by an atmo blow off valve (replacing soon) as the timing drops at the same time as it dumps or by bad timing? The car won't rev above 2,500rpm without serious misfiring under load so is this another sign of bad timing. My first thought for the misfire issue was bad coils as two seem to be from a rb20 and the other 4 are OEM, meaning two already died from previous owner, but now with the timing doing what it is, I'm not sure. I haven't had a chance to get it checked out because its unregistered right now so taking it to a tuner is tough.

TLDR;

  • Negative timing after letting off gas
  • Won't rev above 2,500rpm under load without tonnes of misfiring, revs fine in neutral
  • Any decent mobile mechanics in brisbane area

Thanks!

sounds like a bad air flow meter, re solder it (there is a how to here somewhere)

*edit*
have a read, might be your issue.

Thanks mate I'll give it a go and report back :)

Alright so re-soldered the AFM, now revs up to 5000rpm instead of 2,500rpm. Still get a lot of misfiring at the 5k mark now as well as intermittent misfiring from the 3k rev range. So it seems the AFM fix did somewhat solve it. Would the 5k misfires be a coilpack issue?

EDIT: I feel pretty dumb now, popped the bonnet and found the vacuum hose for the fuel pressure regulator had popped off during the test. One would assume my issue was solved by re-soldering the AFM and the 5k misfiring was caused by that. :rofl2:

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
