sounds like a flat battery if your starter wont even click over

jump start it with another car and if it turns over it is your battery, injectors etc wont stop it cranking lol, once you have it at least turning over but not starting get a consult cable and make sure all sensors are working.

Lol ive had numerous encounters with flat batteries, and I wish this issue were only that.

The battery is new and fully charged. Most of the time it is attached to a battery charger while we are testing.

As I had said the starter motor didnt "feel" like it was clicking, but after taking off the cam gear cover, you can see the gears turning over.

So clearly the solenoid in the starter is doing what it's supposed to :)

Thanks for the suggestion though :)

Well we have discovered the problem - we think...

The locater for the CAS sensor - has sheared off from the engine side.

(there is a half circle locator in teh shaft of the CAS - which matches a half circle locator on the engine side.)

until this is fixed and the timing reset we cant be sure of anything else with the car. which suck. but hopefully after this has been fixed it will at least start again :)

Thanks everyone for your help!

Hey Guys,

ohk, so due to time restrictions i'm trying to line someone else up to actually fix this problem.

The issue now is i need a new part to replace the broken one.

I am trawling for service/workshop manuals to find what part i need, but struggling a litte.

So the CAS has a spline with a fitting joint inside according to the diagram i have. It is the fitting joint on the engine side which has broken.

Does anyone know what this is called? or what exact part in the engine it is attached to?

any help would be really awesome!

Thanks Rolls :)

not 100% sure how it actually happened.

the CAS may have seized, but all things considered i would have expected that to cause the locator on the CAS side to break. either way I will be looking into it all again with the new information in mind.

now to the for sale forum i go :)

      I don’t really have any ideas how to set the timing on the CAS 😂, sounds like the top, sounds like it maybe misfiring as well as ticking,  got the box sorted 😌, must of been a air bubble on the clutch side

      Use a 2' length of hose (that's 2 foot, not 2 inches) as a stethoscope to localise the source of the ticking. From cam covers? From exhaust or turbo manifold gasket? From injectors? From lower down in the engine? Etc. Use a timing light to set the timing. Put Redline Lightweight Shockproof in the box. It's not the very best thing for the box, but it will take a box that refuses to engage a gear with other oil, and make it engage a gear. I had to put it in when I installed the R33 box I have in my car. It would not select ANY gear when running. Smurf jizz made it work. That was >10 years ago and I still use it. I'm stuck with it now. Failing that - rebuild the box.

      Well done Duncan. The fuel tank bulkhead lid is also in great condition (some of mine were stuffed). These are now out of production and good ones like that are becoming hard to come by.
