to be honest its been a very long time since i checked it....i will check it that way....i was having trouble with my idle the other day and noticed that the map shows 20 but the actual logged timing was 15 degrees so i just set those first cells to 15 anyway. previously i had just set them to 20. i will definately check it before going on the dyno.

no problem just trying to get maximum efficiency. can you not get detonation with too much fuel? conversly with too much ignition? seeing as this is at the high end of the rpm scale i tought perhap a degree more timing might help.....this is where my thinking was going on both.....might have to do what gtsboy suggests :)

You can get det even though you throw alot of fuel in there, as with ign timing. Best bet is to get it on the dyno, set up your fuel and then play with timing, Add a couple of degrees at a time and see how it responds power wise and look at knk levels of course. When you reach the point where it makes no more power or very little for the changes made, back it off a few degrees for safety and yo should be good to go......Only way to know, as you wont feel these changes on the road.

thanks for all your advice guys i appreciate it. i just wish dyno's werent so costly to rent.... i'm doing my best to learn to tune on my own car. i'm tuning my wifes GTR next...however thats quite another kettle of fish the factory ECU she has was tuned by Torque performance, i'm going to tune up her powerfc the best i can and then dyno compare both ecu's....its my new hobby and i'm really enjoying it.

and here we go, just note I'm running 1.2 bar of boost, so it interpolates between 216/233kpa i.e. between 1.16 bar & 1.33 bar.. my theoretic max torque would be between 4000 4500 rpm, but saying that I haven't added much more timing after max torque as the car hasn't seen a dyno yet - waiting for the larger injectors (if I don't sell my car by then lol)

These timing values are some what conservative as I roughly punched them in a few days before a track event at wakefield

what turbo and injectors are you running.... couple of degree up top difference between mine and yours.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
