I am going to run a Motec M800 on my new RB26 engine build, and over here in the UK someone has logged scatter of up to 10 crankshaft degrees from the stock CAS sensor. I was therefore considering using the CAS as just a cam position sensor, and using a crank trigger wheel for crank position, with a dedicated sensor. Have many here done that, and if so, are they willing to show how they designed the set up? I know Hugh Keir in the UK used the 18 OS Giken clutch to flywheel bolt heads as a 18 "tooth" trigger, but I think I prefer a front mounted assembly. Thanks.

here's mine. custom made crank pulley with intergrated trigger wheel. using ABS(antilock-braking system) sensor as pickup sensor. no chance to snap post-installation pic. too tight in there. will post up a pic once i have the chance...

take note that at the time of snapping pic, the "missing tooth" has not been cut as the pulley has not been installed on engine... cant determine TDC yet...

now running smoothly.

hope it helps...

Thanks for that, a nice bit of machining, but are you not concerned about running an in lijne 6 with no crank damper? Cheers.

ok. in order to get a clean rpm signal with my autronic smc. i had to use a crank trigger. its a 3 tooth trigger. basicly 3 windows machined into the crank pully. with a 3 wire hall sensor. and works a treat. still using the factory cas for 1 cyl sync.

the sensor is mounted off the oil pump sump blots on a bracket. and the windows are about 20mm wide and 4mm deep.

      People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now.

      Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.

      They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.

      I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)

      Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
