We report on the timing analysis of Rosssi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations of 4U 1630-47 made during its 1998 outburst. In addition we use two BeepoSAX observation on the late decline. 4U1630-47 showed seven distinct types of timing behaviour, most of which show differences with the canonical black hole spectral/timing states. In marked contrast to previous outbursts we find quasi periodic oscillation (QPO) signals during nearly all stages of the outburst. In addition to 2 to 13 Hz QPO slow 0.01Hz QPO are observed. These slow QPO can dominate the light curve as quasi-regular 5 sec, 9--16% deep dips. During these dips we track the behaviour of two QPO's; one remaining constant near 13.5 Hz and the other varying between 7 and 4 Hz. The evolution of the timing and the concurrent spectral changes are mapped using a combination harness-intensity and colour-colour diagrams.
