Another question how persistent is this setting? ie if you disconnect the battery or if you do the pedal reset method to reset the ECU is this setting gone and has to be redone?

 

It can only be reset by nissan with a consult 2 or 3 or by me or by someone using the same software as me.

disconnecting the battery has no effect. Resetting the ECU has no effect.

I guess I should mention that it may go away if you run 87 octane. If the engine starts to knock the ecu will retard the timing back to stock or even worse-as low as 13* which I have seen on a few cars since doing this.

 

For those of you who are still skeptical here is the procedure.

I turn off your ignition and plug an OBD2 compliant gizmo into your port. I plug the other end into my laptop USB port. I start the car and then turn on the laptop and start the software. It takes about 5 minutes for the crappy NISSAN/INFINITY ecu to handshake with the laptop.

The software scans the ecu for any SES codes and/or ghost codes. Assuming there are no codes I call up a screen which shows your current timing setting. I will show that to you so you know what your base timing is. I then run the test which initiates the timing advance. I advance it 2 degrees. (sorry that's as high as I can go)

I then go back to the screen which showed your original timing and it should have jumped from 15/16 to 17/18 (most common) as the idle will go up and down a bit. I will again show you the screen with the corrected timing.

If necessary I can adjust your idle if it jumps up too high. In some cases (not all ) the revs will jump up about 250 which can be corrected. I then turn off the software and unplug from your vehicles port.


Then you give me 20 bucks....

I am interested in doing this too. I'm in the GTA as well (Markham)

 

Count me in if we get get a meet closer than Missisauga. I live and work in York Region.

Just a thought....
What about tying in as part of the GTA - Spring Meet '08

We did this before with Kevin (Picus112) and his detailing.
Theme meets are great!

2. G-MAN (Roy) Knight You still haven't replied to me if Sat eve in Hamilton is good for you PM me.

 

I can do this at a meet, but there is no place and time. I picked 400/7 AMC parking lot for now because there seemed to be a lot of interest (via pm's) and it is about halfway between hamilton and the east end.

g-man, I'm still waiting to hear from dandymax. Hopefully he will be helping me with my ES poly bushing install this Saturday, but if I am back on time it should be no problem.

 

Kinght can you pm me how to do this with the consult II

 

sorry I have no idea, I will check my fsm to see if there is anything in there. I'm using a laptop and software

 

Well, it looks like there is no interest in having a meet this Friday. I am open to suggestions as to a better date. Problem is I am on midnight shift for the next 2 weeks so a weekday meet is out of the question.

g-man I will get back to you tonight, dandymax hasn't responded to my email so I will give him a call tonight.

 

ok

 

Is there still a possibility of this meet happening? I live about 20 mins away and could make it there anytime between 6-7pm. Please let me know, definately interested.
