hey guys, been a looong time since ive posted up on here mainly cause i dont live over in Australia. Well ive got an RB25DET NEO in my S chassis "240sx" here in the US, and i am in need of a replacement VCT (variable cam timing) solenoid. right now its leaking oil thru the connector and causing the car to run like crap..These engines were never sold over here so you can imagine trying to source one of these parts is not exactly easy. I would very much appreciate if anyone on here could help me out. i wouldnt even mind getting brand new one from the dealer. If one of you guys could check into that ii would be very greatful. i know im not a very big participant on this forum and for that im sorry, but I am a fellow RB owner and I am in need of some help.

thanks in advance everyone

Mark

afaik r33 ones are the samd just different plugs which are easy to get

thanks for teh quick response, i honestly dont know what the R33 version looks like...would you happen to have a picture of it ? i have seen the VCT solenoid in my car , i have removed and have seen the entire peice without it installed in the engine. if i could see a complete picture of the VCT solenoid without it in the head it would give me a good idea if it will in fact work. not that i dont trust you at all but i have heard thru numerous people that they are in fact different. i just would like to be sure is all.

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
