Hey forum how the hell are the greatest bunch of guys and gals this side of the world? Need some advice so I came to the experts. What I want to know is if you have a piggy back that is tuned with these mods shielded pod with cai, fmic, 3.5" turbo back exhaust with split dump, boost 10 lo and 12 hi on stock turbo and always run 100 octane fuel will advancing my ignition time give me any gains? Of course if it does I will retune when I am getting it done. Or with the piggy back tuned that means the ignition timing is already advanced? All help is appreciated and welcomed!!!!!! THANK YOU GUYS IN ADVANCE!

I asked this a while back.

Its not in the thread but I came to the conclusion to leave the base timing as standard and not touch the CAS, but rather buy a new ECU and advance the timing via the computer, hence a tune.

Thanks for the reply ppl its really appreciated. Just that my afc neo doesn't have that feature and really don't want to buy a pfc cus where I am at mod wise I am stopping and just wanted to get as much out of the ride as possible without modding any further. Rather buy a pfc for the gtr I am getting :rolleyes:. So just leave the cas alone cus for an extra 5kw might end up causing me a new engine not even 5 degrees would be safe even if i always run 100 octane fuel?

You can probably get away with it. Its just dodge doing it.

I mean you've got no way of monitoring if your motor is pinging apart from when you can hear it with your ears.

I'd sell the AFC Neo and invest that money towards a PFC. Believe me when you get it and have it tuned, you'll say that was worth it. Or alternatively buy the cheaper but effective EMU.

The tune of the AFC would probably be advancing the timing anyway, usually you cant advance it anymore or it starts to ping. As you lean out the mixtures, the timing advances, usually you cant lean it out enough, because it advances too far and detonates

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
