When I was removing my ignition timing unit the locating piece that connects to my camshaft had snapped off. Ive tried lining the timing unit up without the locating piece but now this damaging the timing unit. I need a camshaft for an 93' rb25det s1. I live in the Albury/Wodonga area and can't find one anywhere. People only want to sell me the whole head or an aftermarket camshaft. Where can I source a exhaust camshaft at the right price. Please help!!!

reflex

just went through a similar problem

due to my own stupidity I snapped the CAS keyway

my mechanic said he sourced a nissan camshaft for $400

so f*** that and bought myself a HKS one for a bit more

but before I did, I looked around at the wreckers here in WA and they were asking nowhere near that price. Dsturbd was offering me one for $150, pm him maybe he still has it.

and some wreckers were asking around $200 and one was asking for $380

Just make sure its the exhaust cam cause the inlet one doesnt have the keyway

and RB25 NEO have different camshaft alltogether

It is possible to set the CAS up without the key in the camshaft side - I've had the same problem for a year or so now.

If you look carefully into the recess where the key should be, you should be able to see where it has broken off. Just imagine that the key is still there, then imagine how the CAS mates, and assemble the CAS in place.

Yeah I've already done this for the passed month. What has happened though is the timing unit was mounted on a slight angle with spacers put in it. This slight angle has started to chew away at the teeth/cogs on the camshaft. Now the cogs has worn the timing unit slips and doesn't hold its position. I need another camshaft.
