I have just had a set of HKS Step 1 Cams installed in my 94 Series 1 GTS-t. The exhaust cam is 264* P/N 2202-RN175. The problem is the CAS will not mate up to the HKS camshaft, with has a totally different arrangement to the stock camshaft. Has anyone experiecnced this problem and is there a HKS part that can replace the part that is riveted onto the CAS that engages in the camshaft?

Thanks in advance

so you have it sorted now?

Nooo...not yet dnb...far from it....I am going to try and locate a R34 CAS and that should solve the problem, but apparantly R34 CAS's are hard to locate. Didnt really need all this drama..If the right cams had have been sent to me from Japan, this should never have happened.

Thanks dnb

yeah thats crap. have you installed them yet? maybe you can get them to send the proper ones? or a cas if youve installed them

Yes the cams are installed along with new timing belt and tensioners, water pump, seals. Dont want to take them out and send them back to Japan..I'll have to find a way of getting the CAS to work.

Thats kinna odd isnt it? why would you have a star drive CAS? I thought all the non-neo RB25 had half circle drive?

I have a HKS 256 exhaust cam P/N 2202-RN171 and it has a half circle drive and my CAS is also half circle drive. So doesnt this mean you need to look for R33 CAS?

btw, Im also looking for a CAS as mine is stuffed :(

I think its the opposite to what your saying lukits, the Series 1 and Early Series 2 have the star drive and the Late Series 2 and Neo R34 have the half circle drive in the CAS connection.

I have a Star Drive CAS working perfect for sale now. You can have it for $200 + postage.

Thanks lukits

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
