just wondering on what you think about it......

 

Igniton timing?. ...... I believe we have variable ignition timing and at wot I think its supposed to be 28 degrees. . .theres no way to advance it on a 4th gen that I know of, JWT/TS say they do it when reprogramming ECU's. On 5th gens there is a way, not sure how its done though, its in the 5th gen FAQ's or stickies

 

yeah, i believe the correct phrasing should be "initial timing advance"....
Someone told me that you can change it with the consult II computer.... not sure if it will stay at that reading though...

 

There are some guys here in Dallas that run a program called nProbe on some Maximas (not 99s, of course) and other Nissans. They can change the 'initial' timing and it will keep that setting until you turn off the car...Iirc.

 

it will not do $hit just bog ur car man the computer does it itself

 

MrEous - - -Thanks!

f550maranello2 - - bog the car???

 

Advanced too much will cause knock/ping, retard timing too much and will run like it has a dead KS, slow, and crappy MPG.

 

it wont run right i messed around with it on my old car which had a distributor, when i advanced it like 3 degrees it ran a little better, but if u set it a lot ahead the engine will miss a lot and stuff

 

NmexMax u took the words right out of my mouth

 

well, the 5th gen guys set it from 14 to 17 without any problems which is just right because it's 3 degrees....

so basically there's no way to do it on a 4th gen....right?

 

i dont think so cuz the computer will just reset it (over ride it)

 

Well, since you explained it so thoroughly....

 

No he's right. When I advanced my timing, my engine went missing for 3 weeks.

 

What about the stuff, did it do stuff too?

 

leave me alone u redneck, dont start $hit again son.

 

ur the one thats tellin people to change spark plug wires

 

IF you don't like advancing timing, why did you make a thread about editing our ECU's?

 

Explain to me how you can't spell and I'm a redneck.

I love that story, daddy.

 

it must be hard to moderate the boards effectively while ur constantly on my nuts

 

It did stuffs. Many stuffs.

 

well let me explain it to u in simple English ok. now pay attention ur from Montgomery Alabama, see i have sex with my girlfriend and u like to bone ur cousin, u want more?

 

Yes please.

 

Buhahahaha. Look at this 1st grade spelling and you call HIM a redneck??

 

You're - you are
ur = gay
You could atleast do U R.

 

na i think that pretty much explains it!!

 

great...so now this is going to get locked ......

 

you guys are all

 

.

 

What explains what?

The part about the missing engines and stuff?

 

I advanced the timing on my M3 and this is the result



Oh noes!

 

Dude, Ben...are you stealing my super-secret maxima mechanic tips? You can't go around giving that troubleshooting info out to just anyone.

 

This thread is great...

Yes, you got and you aren't smart enough to know why.

 

but yea back to the question asked.... if u some how do advance the timing i would say that a extra 3 degrees will not hurt anything.

 

.

 

ur ****en gay too!!

 

Was that a personal attack?

I hope not, daddy.

 

Ban!!.....

 

Who can tell?? Over thurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......
