Switching Cas Cam Drives? Possible?

I was wondering if anyone had tried this procedure already. My R34 Rb25det Neo has a dead CAS (was damaged during shipping). I know the Hitachi cas from the neo's has a different cam drive than the Misubishi cas's (s1 and s2). I have access to a s1 rb25det cas, so I plan on taking them both apart and putting the cam drive from the neo cas into the s1 cas. This would make it connect to my exhaust camshaft perfectly, in theory.

Has anyone actually done this, or know for a FACT if it will work or not?

I appreciate the help gents! Not much info on these motors over in my country, and even less knowledgable poeple!

And yes i did search lol

you'll note on the shaft of the cas(mitzi) there is a hardend steel pin that holds the keyway on, punch these out and swap them, ensure you dismantle it so not to shock the components before punching the pin out.

Does the hitachi have this pin also?

im going to get my workshop to see if it works. Im fully detailing and polishing my engine so want to swap to the metal 33 and polish it too.. That plastic 34 cas just looks crap

Yeah my friend actually tried it with a Z32 300zx CAS (supposed to be the same as RB), but it did not work. Maybe he just gave up too fast?

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...

      I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
