but i have had it at 30 and 40 and it runs ok?

really in all the fiddling i have lost the original setting having moved the cas to all sort of positions

maybe it should be 30 and ive made it go to 15?

like you say, maybe your car was set right 15deg (or 30deg with the timing light not double wrapped) and you retarded it back too far so as to get a reading of 15 (or as it would be now 7 :P ). how is you car running at the new setting?

meh... :P all i know it works but it also works on 30 deg and feel zippy without hearing pinging?

Im reading about waste spark ignitions right now that do that double reading.but as yet i cant prove a skyline is a waste spark ignition car?

Question: My brother is doing a car mechanics course and needs to find out what a Waste Spark is.

Answer: A waste spark is the spark that occurs 360° from the “normal” spark that fires the fuel mixture. Remember the “normal” spark occurs every 720° (2 turns of the crank shaft).

      You'd want to cap off the re-entry back into the dump too. Just something flat that can be held on by the Vband.

      Thanks for the recap Matt Z. It was a great day out and I know you have said it already, but we couldn’t have done it without the volunteers.

      Looking at the photos, you could easily just drop this pipe and dump into atmosphere  Just 1 or 2 quick hits for data acquisition - if have a heat shield material and/or sheet metal, maybe just use wire/metal cable ties and attach it in a way to deflect heat from melting nearby wires.

On behalf of SAU NSW, I want to extend a huge thank you to our incredible committee for all the hard work and dedication behind the scenes. You are the engine that keeps this club running smoothly! (hopefully an RB lol😆) To all our amazing volunteers who helped make the GTR Festival Sydney such a success, thank you for giving your time, energy and sacrificing your weekend sleep-ins. Your efforts did not go unnoticed and were absolutely appreciated by everyone. We also want to give a big shoutout to the workshops, trade stalls, and the awesome VIP's we connected with over the weekend. Your support means the world to us, and we’re so proud to be part of such a passionate automotive scene. We are looking forward to collaborating with you at our future events.  SAU NSW had our marquee up for two full days at GTR Festival, packed with merchandise, a sizzling members BBQ, and a chance to chat with the committee, sign up, and check out some hot Skylines on display from our members. It was incredible seeing so many smiles and genuine conversations, that's what we're all about! SAU NSW is more than just a car club... we’re building a community where you can make friends, share stories, and talk about anything RB related or not. 📸 Please post any cool pics you took at the GTR Festival in this thread! 📸 To our current members, thank you for your ongoing loyalty, and to all our new members... welcome to the family! We’re beyond excited to have you on board! Please ensure you are involved as much as possible within the club, and make the most of our exciting upcoming events. Here’s to more future events, thrilling drives, chill meets and good feeds!
