Didn't exactly know which section to put this in so i'll put it here. In the upcoming months i'm doing a DE+TT convert on my NA 300ZX. However, i have a question i need answered. I was planning on using a stock TT Ecu till i could get the nistune on there and tuned, however it seems the timing maps are about 4-5 degree's too aggressive in the high load area's of the map especially around peak torque, thing is there will be a Coolingmist Water/Methanol injection system going on..... will the WMI be able to prevent the engine from pinging? Only plan on running 7psi till i get the NIStune tuned for the WMI then the boost goes up.

Not too experienced with the 300zx, but can you retard the baseline timing?

Also, you can just drive it accordingly, it will only boost 7psi if you make it.

Yep, have a consult display that can retard/advance timing across the board.

does the vg30 run an adjustable CAS? if so then you could also dial the timing back with it.

and since it needs to be said, doing the TT setup will require..................

wait for it...

engine out. YEAH!!!!! *puts on sunnies*

It will need the engine out, have to use the TT sump :P Yeah adjustable CAS, so if i drop it back to 10 deg base timing other than losing power will there be any other side effects?

Other then the fact it won't be running as efficiently as it should unless you're right up it... No... Oh, that also means it will drink fuel.

Get a full standalone EMS as soon as possible!

  • 2 weeks later...

if it is an auto tt ecu, mayby. auto runs mor timing) but just put it in. it will be fine. they are way rich/safe from factory. there is quite a large margin for it. besides the fuel today is a wee bit better than in 1989..

Sweet, yeah will be taking it to Unigroup Engineering or UAS to get tuned. Be cool to see how high the boost/power goes with the water/meth.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
