hey guys, just wondering how do i advance the timing on my r33 gts? i heard that it can become more responsive with the timing advanced. i've got a timing gun in the garage, but this connects to the spark plug lead, so how do i do it for the skyline?

step by step instructions with pictures would be nice :cool:

im not much of an mechanic, just the other day i dropped a bolt into the engine bay and couldn't find it :)

Ha ha, i've done that.

I recomend you get some one to do it for you, like cypher industries or x-speed.

Advancing it to much will cause the car to detonate and ping, can be pretty dangerous specially if you dont have a big front mount.

One way would be to PM DAMQIK, he has whipped up a quick adapter. He should be able to send you some pictures of it.

Basically you remove the COIL and hook up a short ignition lead between the coil and the spark plug. This gives you a lead to hook onto.

Also you will obviously have to remove piping, cover etc off the engine.

Also you will have to remove the front cover off the engine. Sorry I can't explain it more. If you do a search for spark plugs on the forums, you will find detailed info on getting access to your coils/plugs.

Umm if you check meggala's site he has an absolute wealth of info and links.

Regards,

Tim

whatever you do dont just advance the timing or let anyone else advance it just using the crank agle sensor this is not cool wont go into it at length but its not a good idea to do it this way. PLus id be pretty wary of more advamce on a gtst as the have quite a high static comp ratio of 9.0:1 and they are already tuned to 100RON fuel which we dont have so be carefull!!!!!!!!

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
