Haha they just said there is enough timing adjustment in the cas so won't really need the sict for what I am doing. Its only a small thing to take our some fuel. I am changing motors later down the road

yea i get ya.... but id still rather use that than mess with the cas!

soon as would be great mate. need to get rid of em this week to pay my tuning bill! 200 is delivered, and pay pal price.

right. seems SAFC II is sold... unless this guy ^ is a nigerian prince and has stolen all the money in my pay pal account!

we will call it 180 nego for the SITC. cheapest one on the internet.

money is in paypal dude, well was. just transfered it last night so it hits my cash account friday...

sitc is also sold. will send both out saturday.

SITC is in my hands now, very good condition, good guy to deal with.

Whatever mechanic told you that there's enough adjustment in the CAS is smoking crack.

The CAS only adjusts BASE timing, the SITC allows timing adjustment at different RPM points and interpolates between them.

If you wind in more or less timing with the CAS all that does is add or subtract it from the entire rev range which is ENTIRELY undesirable. If you wind out too much timing (retard) to avoid high end detonation it will come on boost sluggishly and will not make decent peak torque and will rev slowly and generally be a dog to drive, you also run the risk of increasing EGT's way too much if you retard too far.

If you advance too much to make it come on boost harder and rev properly you will have way too much timing at peak torque and peak power which essentially means the engine will go boom.

I'm not trying to scare you, harass you or give you a hard time, I just want you to be informed so that your mechanic is not pulling a dodgy on you and doing things that will ultimately end up with lacklustre performance or worse, a busted car, which he will then charge you to fix after having already charged you for the work...

Thanks Paul, can't wait to install :)

That's cool, all I wanted whenI Igot mine was to add a bit of fuel but you quickly realize it's a balancing act. By adding fuel my timing was being retard which made it sluggish.

In your case, removing fuel, it will have the affect of advancing the timing, pushing you closure to the knock threshold.

The work around is wind the CAS back, which then makes it sluggish...

See how you go, but just understand that any fuel adjustment produces a subsequent timing change.

Feel free to PM me if needed.

Cheers

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
