Many of us have had good results advancing the initial timing by 2 degrees. Listed below is the procedure to make the advance, using the Consult 3. You will need a Nissan dealer to do this. You should print out the procedure and take it with you to the dealer.

Warm up vehicle.

After consult3 has connected to car :
1. Press Wrench sign upper Right side of screen.
2. Press ECM/Wrench sign just below Large Wrench sign
3. Press Engine / OK
4. Work Support
5. Engine Timing at bottom of list
6. Follow prompts to +2
7. Press UPDATE
!!!!!! make sure they actually hit the UP-DATE BUTTON !!!!!!
or it will not save..
Make sure engine is at normal operating temp. & also good to reset
Idle air volume relearn to @ 650 rpm with a/c off & steering wheel straight..

Here's before and after 1/4 Track Timeslips.

Pops,
I need to go to the dealer for an oil change shortly, so I wanna run this by the tech there and maybe slip him a $20. Has the procedure changed or will these work still? Also should the car be turned on/off? Reason i ask is because you stated this:

Make sure engine is at normal operating temp. & also good to reset
Idle air volume relearn to @ 650 rpm with a/c off & steering wheel straight..

Thanks for your help. jP

Is this the same for the 08 and up Armadas?

Yes............

what does this do to your gas mileage?

you use more gas so it suffers a bit.

My MPG improved a bit after doing it. It really depends on your driving habits more than anything.

My mileage definitely improved when I am not being aggresive in my driving. Vehicles runs more efficient and the accelerator is more responsive. However, if you are a little on the aggresive end of the spectrum and love to speed (which my leadfoot havin' @$$ got a ticket recently), you will experience a little drop in MPG.

It's all about how you drive it, my mpg improved as well but I may be more aware of how I am driving now.

what is the reason for advancing the timing +2?

Better off the line throttle response and improved acceleration.

Hey I know very little about Motor's and working on them I have to say . I am more on the looks more but What can ya tell me about this Timing stuff? And anything eles that I should know. Does this timing Void the warrenty that I have are what?

Sorry to bring up an old thread:

Does this mod require the use of higher octane fuel? Or is it assumed that you can continue to use 87 after the mod is completed?

Thanks!!!

no it does NOT require the use of high test fuel...

Is it the same procedure for an '05?

they are all the same yes sir/ma'am... :)

gonna get my hands on consult 111 and try do the 2 degree advance as outlined

will it work on 2005's

yes.....................................
