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! :)

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
