About advancing the timing?
I've read that you can advance the timing on our cars by about 2 degrees to improve performance. Is this true?
If so, what are the results. Any negative effects or concerns?
Also, Does this have to be done by a Nissan tech or can anyone do it?
The last time I set the timing on a car it involved turning the distributer! That was in my old first gen Zcar.

the only risk you run is ping and kock
but using 91 -93 elimate this problem
My tech advanced 16 first to see if I get any ping. after that if am aready he said to bring to adv to 17. one step at time
the result was a more rev happy engine.
read this thread quick said the higest you can go is 20

Also, the link takes me to a thread about pinging but mentions nothing about advancing the timing.

I've been noticing a little pinging with my setup. Anyone know what could be causing this? I currently have a UDP, Y-pipe, B-pipe, Intake and muffler. I run Shell's V-power gas. I recently had an SES light which was the result of bad coils. Do you think that the bad coils could have fouled out my plugs?
