No one is going to be converting my 200SX RS13U in to a train.

The driver up front has to drive for them all. So when he makes a
sudden exit from the M-way without indicating or decoupling from 2nd
car in line, they all follow him. That one would be really good at
some limited access junctions where it's miles to the next junction
they can all turn round at. Just make sure you have something adequate
to run away in.

Key in that destination is London but ignore the sat nav "Please do a
U turn..Please do a U turn..Please do a U turn." and take them all to
Barnsley!

You do not tie the vehicles together.

Every vehicle has its own computer and uses the wire above to get
electricity and charges batteries while driving.

When there is a need to leave the grid the batteries are used.

TOPIC: 91 Nissan Sentra 1.6 4speed manual question about timing-

haynes manual for GA16DE engine (includes '91) states ignition
timing should be 10 degrees BTDC (US) for manual transmission
with idle set at 650 rpm.

it is normal for spark timing to advance as engine speed increases,
i do not have info as to amount of advance at specific rpms.
