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

    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
