actually 20 deg is the 5th mark from the left. the marks from the left are, 0 5 10 15 20 25 30. ignore any reading you get in consult at idle and go off the timing light.

which throttle body and TPS are you running? are you sure your unplugging the correct TPS plug?

the 4th mark from the left. on conzult my timing sits on 15 degrees when at idle.

how do i get to base idle mode using my consult cable?

4th mark is 15 degrees. as qwk32 said (and i meant to say), the 5th mark is 20 degrees, 4th mark is only 15 degrees, so your timing is correct as it is at the 4th mark which is 15 degrees and the consult is showing 15 degrees.

yeah my bad, can't count, LOL (had the workshop manual open and all, LOL)

sorry, i meant the 5th mark. i cant go any lower than the fifth mark with the tps unplugged.

also when idling normally with the tps in, i can set it to 15 degrees easily and the car runs nicely

when i pull the tps plug out it runs like crap and i cant set it any lower than 20

i cant be pulling out the wrong plug? probably am;

heres a pic of the one im pulling out. this is an rb25neo out of a stagea

just double check that colour of the wires of the plug match the colour of the wires of the plug on the tps, since both it and the plug underneath send wires off in the same direction.

the two plugs at the top both go to the tps.

sorry i should have mentioned, the bottom one (grey one) also goes to the TPS but it is a Throttle On/Off switch and is associated with an auto. what ecu are you running do you know? and auto or a manual one?

the black plug is the variable TPS signal you unplug when setting timing.

ok so one if those plugs is for the tps and the other is for the throttle valve switch because this engine was from a auto stagea

do i pull out both plugs?

as above mate, you posted as i was replying. you don't unplug the bottom plug to set the timing. if your running the auto ecu, which isn't a problem, just make sure the bottom plug is plugged in incase the ecu is looking for that signal to help with idle time controls.

ive been running an auto rb25neo stagea ecu; when warmed up and at idle timing sits at 15 degrees on the conzult software

when i put the car into base idle mode and try to adjust the timing i cant adjust it any lower than 20 degrees and it idles really rough.

i just tried a r34 manual rb25neo ecu; when warmed up and at idle timing sits at 5 degrees???? on the conzult software

and when i put the car in base idle mode it idles fine and am able to adjust the timing across the whole range

what options do i have?

problem solved.

used another timing light to confirm my readings. now its set to 15 degrees

and the car drives and runs fine

only problem is it wont start unless i remove the cas and turn it manually.

when its warm it starts without a problem

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
