Timing

[YEE-HAA]

Hi guys,

Anyone know how to check the ignition timing on a series 1 R33 GTS-T skyline with the amplifier at the back on the rocker cover?

I have found out how to do it on a R32 and a series 2 R33, but the series 1 is different to both of them.

I am using a conventional inductive timing light.

Any help please!!

Thanks in advance.

Frank!

on the passenger side of the igniter module you will find a wire loop. hook your light pickup thru this (you can even stretch it out to make a bit bigger loop). some timing guns will give 2 different readings depending on the orientation of the pickup. read it... then flip it over and read it again.

The reading that is MOST RETARDED is the correct one.

my $10 kmart gun gives me spot on readings... every time.

Yes I know what you mean by the "loop" but mine doesnt have it. My mate series 2 does!

Instead mine has the plugs/wires going into and out of the ignitor, but then also has an extra two wires coming out of the main harness (from the ecu?) with the ignitor loom next to it, going over the ignitor, and then joins into the other loom again going underneath the plastic cover going to the coil packs.

I.E. the main harness coming from the firewall contains two seperate looms, one loom for the ignitor, 6 wires, and one loom which has 2 wires. The two different looms split as they reach the ignitor then join again as they go under the plastic cover.

The 2 extra wires are 1 white, 1 black.

When you say "flip it over" do you mean the pickup on the timing light, or something else.

Thanks again.
