My nm35 engine warning light is on. My mechanic hooked up the diagnosis tool and it came up as cam angle sensors. Has anyone had the same problem if share your experience. I was told its a common thing with vq25det.

yes, I believe it is a common problem. Apparently it was a common fault with the Aust delivered Pulsars of the early 2000's models where this part is common.

My car was showing the warning light on and clearing it self. As it got worse the motor would stop at random times at speeds up to 70km/h, so not the most enjoyable experience.

I had the part replaced, in my case, right bank (drivers side) and the problem was all solved. less a few dollars taken by the Nissan dealer.

I was told $400 each . What do you think?

that was about what I paid for one fitted.

You don't meed to replace both do you?

Have yours got a mark of yellow paint on them? The reason I ask is this was a Nissan recall in Japan and when they checked them they marked them with this paint.

No idea about the yellow mark. My mechanic is very trustworthy but $400 sounded expensive for a sensor. I thought maybe someone knows where to get one cheaper. But if $400 is the norm then i will just cough it up.

Which sensor is it? Don't quote me but I think these are the numbers.

Drivers side: 23731-6J906

Passenger side: 23731-AL616

Seem to just have different plug arrangement. Same on most VQ's if not all so you should check the Z33 parts in the states perhaps.

$400 sounds a bit steep.

Replaced my Bank 1 cam angle sensor last week, PArt was $160 from nissan and fitting was only 1x10mm bolt at the back of the head near the firewall. The hardest part was removing the harness connector (positive locking connector). Car is much better not. Fault code was 0340

Yesterday my car stalled while cruising at about 60km/h, luckily on a back street, and then threw this code at me aswell (0340).

I want to replace both cam angle sensors as there are no silver or white dots indicating a recall was done in japan.

Just want to check that the part numbers above are correct (Scotty seemed a little unsure) so I can order them from my friendly Nissan dealer...

That is a FUN moment when the car stalls at 60km/h...... lol requires a bit of focus to sort it quickly.

    • Pretty much what you'd expect at that power level. Hypergear turbo, long list of supporting mods, full Haltech catalogue, etc.  I'd say this goes for most drivers, suspension is still a dark art for most people. And it's really hard to convince someone how much better their setup could be...  
    • They are what I will be installing. 640s for me.
    • Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.
    • What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
