Hello, hope you can help, I have R33 GTST with HKS coilovers. The driver side sits about 20mm lower than the passenger side. I have removed the coilovers to check they are the same height sides, also swapped the coilovers left to right and the same side is lower. So I assume my coilovers are fine. What could be causing this issue? Car alignment was done a while ago. Thanks

It isn't really normal to have coilovers at the same seat height to achieve an even ride height, particularly if you are measuring height with a driver on board (as there generally is when the car is moving).  After a corner weighting process where the ride height with driver is set reasonably even on the diagonals for best balance, the uncompressed spring ride heights are often very different.

Thanks for your reply, I understand the extra weight of the driver, but the skyline should be well balanced without the driver with even coilovers. But the drive side is 20mm lower regardless of which coil over I out in. This should be higher to account for the extra  driver not lower.

      Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees.

      I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.

      I must preface my comments with a general expression of ignorance. I have no specific knowledge of these NA automtaic things. I can only assume that the "steering wheel button" is for enabling the tiptronic controls. Wierd that it would even need/want a button for that... But anyway.... Was the car previously tiptronic? Did you put a new cluster in as part of all this?

      Regardless, it doesn't seem wise especially on RBs to actually chase MBT. Timing scatter is the big one on stock CAS, even if that's fixed overshoot is worse than undershoot.

      It's all about reducing the overall output. Reduce the source of it, you have wayyyy less to deal with in every other step and trick you play with. It's why something like a modern vehicle, so VW, Audi etc, there's thousands of tables for the ECU to calculate what it should be doing with the engine.   Why would you NOT reduce emissions the most effective way possible, when it has very minimal tradeoff, AND manufacturers are always struggling to meet the current standards.
