Hi guys,

I've noticed a couple of funny things going on with my car recently. Could the gurus out there have a punt at answering my questions?

1) I noticed the my ign timing is at 10 degrees when the car is idling. I've noticed in many threads people usually have 15 degrees. Will 10 degrees do damage to my engine?

2) After my tune, my car runs funny. Firstly, it idles strangely, the revs go up and down themselves, and sometimes, my car nearly stalls when I turn it on, right before the revs shoot back up to 1000 rpm.

3) when driving off boost (ie 0 pounds or less by not putting your foot on the accelorator hard) my car feels as though it's bogging, and sometimes, it stutters VERY mildly.

THe computer I got is a power FC.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

try cleaning your AAC first or even your air filter intake for the hunting issue. alot of people have had similar problems after tuning and have found just a simple clean would fix their problem. worth a try since it doesnt cost anything except time!

10 degrees at idle simply isn't enough timing.

It needs to be at 15 degrees. This is easy to adjust in the powerfc.

Will this damage my engine at 10 degrees? :domokun:

ALso, whats ACC?

thanks

I have no idea how to use the POWER FC, the manual is all japanese, I'm scared to fiddle with the detting incase I stuff it up.

AAC - auxiliary air control

i'm sure there was a topic on how to clean this just search it in the DIY forums

I tried to find a thread with no success.

Could someone tell me what the ACC looks like and how to clean it?

Photos would be even better.

Or maybe just send me the link to the thread if you know where it is?

Cheers

Are you checking your timing with a timing light or on the pfc? Set your base timing on your CAS at 15 degrees using a timing light then tune with your pfc after that. That way you have a known base to tune from.

I've never had to do anything with the ACC on any Rb.

sounds like you are right on the money man

but what gets me is why do they only have a timming mark on the crank that goes to ten

thats if each mark is 2 degress! :)

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
