Cas (Cam Angle Sensor) Help!

Hi everyone, first time posting on this forum so take it easy.

Without thinking i've removed the cam angle sensor of my neo without making any marks. And making it worse i've turned the engine over a few times with the sensor off.

I was just wondering how serious this situation is? the pin/input shaft that going into the end of the cam shaft looks like it can only go in two ways. So is it a 50/50 change that it will go in the position that it was previously in before i took it out? or will it be 180 degrees out of its original position and will send the wrong signal to the ecu.

how noticeable will the effects be if it were to be in the wrong position. will the fix be as easy as rotation the pin/shaft 180 degrees?

Any help appreciated

Thanks. :yes::cheers:

I think you need to get the timing marks lined up so its on TDC, then slide the Cas in so the half moons join, then hopefully theres a mark where it was sitting or else its about half way and need checked with a timing light

oky thanks for the reply man!

This mark you mentioned where are they located? Im unsure of what position the timing marks were when i removes the cad, so i was wondering if i did put it back at TDC theres a chance it still maybe in the wrong position.

It only goes in one way, the slot is offset, line up the bolts withthe old marks, and check with a timing light

Exactly this. Doesnt matter where the cam is, as long as you have the half moon (these sometimes break but sounds like yours is there) you can slide the CAS over that, rotate it to line up with the bolt holes, do the bolts up loosely and then get a timing light and set the timing

Neo doesn't use the spline and half moon system but can still only go on one way.

Whether you have marked it or not, you still have to set timing with a light.

The marks are never going to be good enough.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect

      It's about time I start work on my sun tan. So I knocked up a few parts that will all combine together to become my new power steering reservoir. Now just to produce an abundance of UV and IR rays while melting a heap of bits of alu to become one... Well, that's after I put one more hole in it for the return line to plumb to. It likely won't be this weekend, as Sunday I'm meant to be in doing some last minute stuff to the AMG race car, and the weekend after will be filled with non my Skyline stuff, followed by Bathurst 6 hour. So I don't expect to get to melt metal for at least 3 weeks.   I also managed to stuff up and start cutting the hole for the res to pump pipe on the wrong side of the line... It means instead of the lines being nice and tight against the inner guard, they'll be out off the guard.    The size of it means I should end up with about 1.8L of power steering fluid, and still have space for another half a litre before it reaches the overflow/breather. This is wayyyyyyy more capacity than factory, which should help keep Powersteer oil temps lower, and the design hopefully allows it to prevent any aerated oil being able to makes its way down to the bottom as it'll have a couple of baffles and some hopeful trickery to force air bubbles away from the bottom.
