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.

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

      SAUNSW - World Time Attack Challenge - 5 & 6 September

      By Keeper · Posted

      Plan on the day will be to park trackside. Depending on space availability we will try put a small shade tent and a few of the cars on top of the hill inside turn 3, this is an easy to get to parking area with views of Turn 2, Turn 3, Turn 4 and Turn 5 and limited other pieces of the view around the track. IMPORTANT NOTE! One consideration from previous years is from memory the trackside parking sells out before the admission tickets, for that reason I encourage anyone planning on coming to buy tickets for parking now via the official website; https://www.worldtimeattack.com/ The type of parking you are looking for is 2 Day Park & View (Access Around Venue) Vehicle Pass Only Please note this does not include admission to the event itself, remember to grab that also, and kids under 12 get in for free!

      Not in any way aroused by any of those, except maybe the big AMGs. And that would break my never a Euro, ever, rule.
