Also it cant be duty cycle based as all nissan's use dumb ignitors.

In a 300zx for example there is is a 32 byte table (location 7b50-7b70) . It represents Ignition Dwell Duty, the values in the table * 0.33, represent percentage of Dwell Duty. Scale: 400 rpm to 12800rpm in steps of 400 rpm.

When installing my new splitfire coilpacks I remember reading that they recommend going to a heat range cooler plug as well

would this mod to PFC settings be done as well as cooler plugs or instead off cooler plugs, am still getting a bit off knock 60-80 range with the new tune and am thinking off trying both plugs and these settings to try an sort it.

I assume dwell changes allow for better coil saturation and resultant "better" spark yeah?

Yep, and the colder heat range plugs should reduce the knock a bit.

Upon researching the stock settings for dwell , the recharge time of the coils is rpm dependent, and follows the torque curve, i guess nissan realised the coils would overheat if given a set dwell, so they increase it around 4000rpm, and it drops off steadily both sides of this.

cheers for the reply bud it was knocking a bit, much the same, before the new coils will give plugs a go I think an (as I dont have datalogit) chat to my tuner bout changing these other settings

interesting how you say the dwell settings drop off after 4000 rpm coz it seems to be after 4000 to bout 5000ish mine seems to be struggling

Thats for the stock ecu, setup for the stock turbo, i would find a dyno shop with datalogit, and just get them to change the dwell settings, if you want a bit more grunt there, no need to put it on the dyno to do it, shouldnt cost much.

Could b wrong Mafia but i dont think either setting could hurt em but stock type settings just wouldn't utilise the coils to the max as they dont have enough time to get full satutation so dont put out the maximum spark they can do.

If only I had a copy of datalogit I could find out without having to try an convince my tuner

It seems that the amount of dwell drops off after 4000 rpm because the maximum value that nissan use is E9 (Hex), It is scaled against rpm as a dwell duty %. As rpm increases there is less time between firing events to charge coils.

There seems to be a few differing methods of determining dwell duty %, 1. Divide by 10 , 2. Multiply by .33

There is almost always two settings;

IGNITION VOLTAGE DWELL COMPENSATION (amount of time added to base ignition dwell as a function of ignition voltage)

IGNITION DWELL PERIOD ((length of time the ignition coil dwells as a function of rpm) sometimes this is a percentage of duty, like remaps for example)

I'm putting R35 coils onto the RB25 shortly, and seems adjusting the dwell in a Power FC isn't straightforward as there's no table labelled  " Dwell Ms > Voltage" , and all the info I can find on setting up the R35 coils refers to directly entering the specified ms against the voltage point.  While researching I read one post saying the "IGN Vs BattV" table referred to adjusting the actual IGN timing rather than dwell, but it would make much more sense if it referred to the dwell compensation as noted above by Trent, although doesn't seem he was specifically referring to the PFC.

I also found this post screenshotted below, and the formula makes sense, giving around 1.7 as the dwell for stock coils.

so from there, with that formula making the figures in the "IGN dwell vs RPM" > "Adjust" column around 1.7 for stock coils, to get the R35 coil dwell into the mid-4ms range needed at 14 volts you would need to enter the new increased values into the "Adjust" column at each rpm point, and once done, then move to the "IGN vs BattV" table and enter the change at each voltage as a percentage to get the desired ms at each voltage point.

Does that make sense, or does anyone have any details on how new coil dwell should be set up in the PFC? ..thank you

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
