How to advance your timing using CONSULT II

[Beancooker]

This process works for 5th and 5.5th gens. 4th gens won't properly "save" the advancement.

You can advance your timing to 17* BTDC. You HAVE TO run supreme unleaded after this, otherwise you may have spark knock.

You will only gain better throttle response and a fraction of accelleration.

Advancing your timing with Nissan’s CONSULT II tool.For those of you with dealerships like mine (the tech may need a little help)

On CONSULT II main menu screen choose “ENGINE”Check out any codes that are stored, then clear codesPress “WORK SUPPORT”Press “TARGET IGN TIMING”Press “UP” x2 for 2 degrees, correction which you should be able to seePress “UPDATE”Press “BACK”On the “WORK SUPPORT” screen find “IDLE LEARN“

Perform this, since your idle will have changed.

so is this baiscally uselss for a 4th gen?? does it just not save properly in the computer?? im game for any performance mod regardless of how "significant" it is. i figure, it all adds up right???

I know for a fact that in a 4th gen, when you disconnect the battery, that you lose the advancement. If you can have it done for free, you've got nothing to lose. I had to pay out $102. to have it done, so it's not something I would want to have to pay for twice.

so i guess my best bet would be to stay with my plans on the greddy emanage??

If you're going with the Emanage, don't waste the $$$ on the consult II timing advance. You'll get so much more from the Emanage.
