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!!!!!!!!

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
