Hi guys, i have a few questions i was hoping we all could answer!

I tried and tried to look for these answers using the search, but to no avail. Anyway...

How many people have bought a NEW crank/cam angle sensor for their cars?

If so, where did they get theirs from???

Nissan placed a price tag of $900+ for a new one... :chairshot

I called Petro-jet here in Melbourne and they said they had no listing for an rb20det CAS, but they can match one up if i brought my one down. Now, how could they do that when they wouldn't know the specs of it? ( i should have asked them that!)

They think it should cost around $200 for one but they're not sure.

Also, is the rb20det CAS the same as any of the rb25 or rb26 CAS's?

If anyone has any thoughts and/or info on this feel free to post! :uh-huh:

Cheers.

I think you would be best getting it off a blown engine .. try and find somebody who has a blown rb20 (few around) and its just sitting around waiting to be thrown out or disposed of.

I've seen a few rb20 heads forsale over the last few months.. I'd say they would have the CAS still attached. Maybe you can do a deal and get them to sell the CAS - if all they are using the head for is swapping with their own.

I am pretty sure they are different between rb20 to rb26.. as I was thinking that they all have different stock cams, therefore would require slightly different CAS to read them correctly. But I'm not completely sure how they work, so not so sure ;)

Warren, thanks for the info! I'm in melbourne so i'll give him a buzz tomorrow.

Predator, i might just have to get a second hand one if it's too expensive for a new one. After all, a good second hand one may still last for ages.

I was told that some CAS's can be rebuilt if it's something like the bearings being stuffed. However, if it's the actual sensor inside (optical eye?) that's stuffed then you basically just chuck it out.

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
