hey guys ive got a slight issue with my car atm *rb20*, all i need to know is does the cam shaft need to be replaced if the half moon snaps off the end of the cam shaft? i know there is splines on the outer of the cam, i dont think its a major issue, hardest part will be re aligning the cas... so does the cam need to be changed?

No it doesnt need to be replaced, but its an actual bitch to get it lined up. You have to put the cas in the crank it with timing light see where you are at, then pull it out and move it to get it closer as you dont know what splines it should be in. But once that is set up its the same as if it had the moon.

it is part of the cam but there are the splines or what ever on the outside, half moon is just there so it means you get the CAS in the correct spot everytime. My tuner installed 2nd hand HKS cams into a gtr the other week and the cam had that moon snapped off, he said it was a bitch because its trial and error to get it in the correct one.

well i cant believe it, i just fitted the cas back up and ran it, first go and its sweet. im only worried now when i get it tuned they remoove the cas to adjust cam gears and it wont line back up, lol thanks for ur help mate.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
