Dan @ ERD has replaced the guts of them but I really think you should leave it alone unless there is an issue with the existing one. Get it on the dyno and see what happens before you chase your tail replacing perfectly serviceable parts.

Presumably Automotive Service Solutions has the bits to repair them.

Asked elsewhere and yes I searched first .

If you want a fresh CAS can the sensors be replaced or do you have the replace the complete assembly . Mine is a 96 S2 GTS25T BTW .

Cheers A .

ive got a second hand one with a broken shaft, the rest could be used if you want it..

Pretty sure I read somewhere that mercury Motorsport had new diamond cut disks fitted to some customers cars to fix high speed noise.

Also someone wrote recently about opening them up and re-aligning the disk to the optical sensor?

Mine is noisy from idle upwards so also interested what's available

Does anyone have links to or part numbers for the sensors inside these Nissan RB CAS units ? The bearings look like late alternator ones so shouldn't be a prob .

I think Kudos sell new CAS units complete but at $1000 plus is very exy . If I can get to Nissan in Rockdale I'll get them to price one , I expect much the same thing .

My CAS is a Mitsubishi and its Nissan Pt no is 23731-02U11 which is the pre mid 97 R34 CAS type .

Cheers A .

Are they real Japanese ones or PRC ones ?

I have a link to an American 240SX site that goes inside KA24DE distributor/optical CAS units . I would be very surprised if there wasn't some internal sensor pickups that were common to SR or KA ignition systems of the same era .

Surely only the sensor and bearing are wearing parts and if we can find new ones it makes thousand dollar new assemblies unnecessary . .

I tried searching Tridon for ignition bits and found nothing .

I swear I'm not being a Smarta$$, but does it really matter?

genuine JECS/Mitsubushi/whatever internals I imagine is better, but for the price you cant really complain

I'm only looking for part numbers because armed with these you have a chance of finding them . Looks to be Nissan RSB-014

For the work involved in changing the pickup I wouldn't buy a no name POS if I could get a genuine or at least Japanese made replacement part .

A .

Yeah just the price of a whole unit from america is pretty good.

Changing the sensor would be alright, not sure if anyone has a number for the bearings, but I have a dead CAS here I wouldn't mind playing with. Gotta try and remember how to pull them apart but. there a bit of a pain in the way they are designed (The S1 sensors that is)

Ok , from digging around it seems that there were/are two optical sensors made by Mitsubishi and Hitachi . I think the Mitsy one is Pn J926 and the Hitachi RSB14 or RSB014 .

Taiwan Ignition System (TIS) is making replacements with their own number ie Mitsy J926 = TIS242 and Hitachi RSB14 = TIS 203 .

I'll try to talk to Rockdale Nissan to get prices on CAS units and the internal sensors at least for my Mitsubishi CAS if available .

Cheers A .

Fun stuff with a Mitsi CAS , thats the Mitsi J926 sensor BTW and in another link I'll post in a sec it looks like the Hitachis are a bit harder to rebuilt especially if you wanted to use an aftermarket sensor wheel .

These butchers need to learn about soft jaws for the vice and preferably use a hydraulic press .

This ones about changing the disc in a (I'll assume Hitachi CAS) which uses pressed on rings to hold the std disc in place .

Note the difference in the Hitachi RSB14 optical sensor .

Mine has the fluctuations getting worse with rpm but I noticed today when going from no throttle to half throttle quickly as I came out of some corners it jumped backwards 2 boxes of rpm in map tracer giving a big flat feeling before coming back to life.

Anyone else get similar things from what I presume is belt harmonics? Or just further evidence my sensor is crap?

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
