Please....first check for vaccum leaks before spending all of this time and money that people are telling you to do. Check all of your vaccum lines first. Do a good visual....exceptional visual...then, when you are sure there is nothing that looks rotted or broken, take it for a diagnostic and replace the knock sensor and whatever else they "think" is bad. (the computer tells them...haha) Good luck.

The computer controls the timing. The only way to change the timing is to replace or reprogram the computers PROM (programmable read only memory). If you want to improve the performance, there are after market company's that provide them.

You don't, It's controlled by the computer and the knock sensor.. Nissan has a lot of problems knock sensors. Try replacing it.
