Did my motor come with cams or what? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Timing SHOULD be 15 Deg btdc.

What you want is ignition base timing.

You're checking timing with ecu in control

Simple,
Warm engine up,turn motor off, disconnect TPS ( throttle position sensor) with engine off, start up engine, check timing with gun, play with the CAS ( crank angle sensor) set to 15 deg, secure CAS, snap throttle ( quick rev), let idle .. adjust idle if needed via IAA on intake manifold.
