Hi,

just wanted to know how to adjust the base timing on a RB25det in a skyline R33 gtst 1994 model. also at what degree is base timing.

i have found to much pinging at higher boost as timing is advanced to far i think. i believe u need to put the standard computer into program mode or something like that. cheers

ok stock base timming is 15degress BTDC

and are you running some sort of 98ron fuel, that will make

ping otherwise, inregards to stock etc , you can reset it to make it

relear its maping but you carnt program it

what other mods are done to the car?boost etc

Cheers

Huh?

This doesn't make sense. Please clarify.

98 ron fuel is better, less ping. Is it just a typo?

Sky_hi

Are you sure its a ping? How do you know it's not a misfire? I'm going by your post, it would seem that you are using the std computer - what mods do you have?

You can adjust the timing by unscrewing the crank angle sensor, and twisting it. This is the thing on the front top end of the motor. You will need a timing light. And you will need to know what the marks on the pulleys at the bottom front mean.

If you retard the timing and it gets worse,then its probably a misfire.

If you have mods, this make a std ECU run rich, and will give you said misfire, especially on cold nights.

    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
