Went to wally mart, picked up a 39.95 timing light, carefully removed it from box, adjusted timing in the NX, put item back neatly in box, and returned it.

My timing was @ 11, so i bumped it up to 17 and also tightened my throttle cable. I swear to god it seems like i have a new car.

I would like to thank Wal-Mart Stores for making it all possible.

My question is for the guys who have their timing set to 17; What grade gas do you use? I put in premium (93Oct) just to be safe when i adjusted the timing, but I'm thinking 89 should also do the trick.

I almost positive I read on se-r.net that you have to use 93, thats what I use

------------------
96 w/ HS CAI, timing @ 17, 92 I/E cams, Naxos muffler, Eibach Sportlines, Front struts: Motivational, Rear shocks: KYB AGX's, S/T sway bars, ES lower control arm bushings and motor mounts, Courtesy F/R STB, APC Clear corners, Stillen grille, and Focus short throw.

i've used both 92 and 89. depends on how much the oil thugs are charging that day. ya gotta love wal-mart! they'll let you return anything!

SCRUB!!!!!

lol!!!
Its all good. How do you think I got my speaker grills. I bought a pair of speakers at Wal-mart, took out the grills and took the speakers back!! I know its a horrible thing to do, but I saved money to put towards my engine.

You can use 92 octane.

You should still be able to use 87 octane at 17 degrees, since 17 is still within spec (15+-2deg BTDC). I did that with my SE-R for a while. Though I would worry about it if you're driving around on a very hot day; might have slight detonation. 89 octane should more than suffice. Going beyond 17deg, I think it would be best to use 91,92,93,94 octane or whatever your local gas stations have for premium (stupid 91 octane here in California).

how is the octane number derived in NZ? here,in the U.S.,it's R+M divided by 2.
R=Research M=Motor
