I'm pretty sure the SAFC is unable to control the VCT. The way VCT works is not like how V-TEC works in Hondas.

VCT on a stock car disengages aroudn 4700rpm where as in a Honda usually it engages at a higher rpm point.

sorry for the confusion... ok currently the car feels sluggish with no response so i want to check where the VCT plug is i want to make sure the VCT is functioning....

If you're standing in front of the motor, it is on the LHS, where the plenum is.. kind of hard to explain without a photo

and yes NEO has V-TEC control but like I said before Nissan's VCT is TOTALLY different to how VTEC works, so no you cannot rig that shet up.

Car running slow? try disconnecting your SAFC, you've probably have the car running rich as.

it would be strange that VCT would magically die

i dont think we see very often that VCT dies

are you sure it's just died?

has someone been fiddling and then you think it's died?

have you played around with the wiring loom before hand?

just purchased the car a few days ago.... shoulda looked into it when purchasing... but yeh fed the soleniod 12V at idle and while the engine was off no click no nothing...

so this is what i know so far, the ecu is feeding the soleniod the signal (tested the plug with multimeter while reving in gear)

car drives the same plugged and un plugged( can feel power arnd the 5-6K mark but nothing before)

the soleniod is not making and noise when fed 12V

anybody have any suggestions in what else i should check? what could cause VCT death?

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
