I was trying to fit my tomei poncams last night and everything was fine until........

I tried to fit the Cas unit to the front of the exhaust cam, its got a different kind of 'conection'.

Is there a difference between some of the rb25's cas unit? Mine has teeth and one locating lug that sticks out, the cam has two locating lugs...

I live in the uk and bought the cams from nengun so I am going to have to find some way of making them work, even If i have to buy a different Cas unit.

please help, anyone with photos of diffenert cas or cams?

thanks

Tom

also believe that the base circle is different on them too..

what is the product serial number for the cams you have ?

what is the month and year of your car as well??

pre oct 97 R33's all use the same cam regardless of series.. post oct 97 use the Series 2 option poncam, then r34 is different again.

The month and year of the car is unknown as its in my s13and I forgot he car I got it out of...... oh well...

I do know its a series two, I think it was a 96 or 97.

The cams came in a box that I chucked out, but they were for an r33. Maybe a late on with the r34 cas??

I have spoken to some guys here in the uk and I'm sure I have r34 cams so I'm going to fit r34 cas.

Thanks for the help lads.

143050

ECR33 Series 2 (RB25DET) - Duration: IN, EX 256 Lift: IN,EX 8.5mm

Thats what its says on the nengun web site.

So if I have these cams and they dont fit???? I must have a series 1 motor? unless thery sent the wrong ones... but i chucked the box now.

How can I tell quickly if i have a series 1?

Can someone post a photo of series 1 and 2 or r34 cas? I just want to know what car has the cas driven by these cams.

thanks

If you have a series one you should have a ignitor unit at the end of your coil pack rack at the back of the engine on the black plastic cover. Series 2 25's dont have a seperate ignitor pack.

also the throttle position sensor will look like a single unit on the S1 and look like a double on a series 2 .. but that still doesn't help the fact that a S2 made before oct 97 will still not be able to use these.

get a r34 or my98 onward r33 crank angle sensor. or buy new cams. you can sell your existing crankangle sensor easy enough.

not sure on base circle but

and you need to swap the two triger wires around in the plug.. ie green/yellow green/red i think. the black ones earth the black/white is power

Ok mine is a series 1. it has the ignitor at the back on the top.

I'm thinking these are series 2 cams as I cant see how they woulb send r34 ones and i'm sure the box said r33 rb25det.

Is it ok to swap series1/2 cas. how much are they on here as I only found one tuner over here and they want nerly $1200au . that was for the r34 though.

I still would like to find an image of what cams / cas haved what drive, just to be sure what I have.

If they are 34 cams i'll just sell them.

I quickly made this models up to show what the difference is. If anyone can be sure what the tomei one is for, then please tell me.

My old cams have this to drive the cas - images 1 and 3

the tomei cams have this kind of drive, anyone know what car this is for? - images 2 and 4

-

once again, thanks for the help.

I am bumping this thread up because I seem to have the same problem. My motor is a SII rb25det (without ignitor). I just bought some tomei poncams part# 143050 and the cam angle sensor is different. Is it confirmed that I have to get an r34 cas and that it will work with my motor?

Bump :)

Was this ever resolved? What cams are in the very late S2's with the black CAS? Is it cams from the Neo engine???

According to wiki the RB25DET and Neo cams are different profile:

RB25DET Camshaft duration 240°in, 240°ex lift: 7.8mm in, 7.8mm ex

RB25DET NEO Camshaft duration 236°in, 232°ex lift: 8.4mm in, 8.7mm ex

So Nissan would have either have had to machine a special cam to accept the black CAS, or just take the upcoming Neo cam - when they were building the very late S2's.

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
