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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
