My nm35 engine warning light is on. My mechanic hooked up the diagnosis tool and it came up as cam angle sensors. Has anyone had the same problem if share your experience. I was told its a common thing with vq25det.

yes, I believe it is a common problem. Apparently it was a common fault with the Aust delivered Pulsars of the early 2000's models where this part is common.

My car was showing the warning light on and clearing it self. As it got worse the motor would stop at random times at speeds up to 70km/h, so not the most enjoyable experience.

I had the part replaced, in my case, right bank (drivers side) and the problem was all solved. less a few dollars taken by the Nissan dealer.

I was told $400 each . What do you think?

that was about what I paid for one fitted.

You don't meed to replace both do you?

Have yours got a mark of yellow paint on them? The reason I ask is this was a Nissan recall in Japan and when they checked them they marked them with this paint.

No idea about the yellow mark. My mechanic is very trustworthy but $400 sounded expensive for a sensor. I thought maybe someone knows where to get one cheaper. But if $400 is the norm then i will just cough it up.

Which sensor is it? Don't quote me but I think these are the numbers.

Drivers side: 23731-6J906

Passenger side: 23731-AL616

Seem to just have different plug arrangement. Same on most VQ's if not all so you should check the Z33 parts in the states perhaps.

$400 sounds a bit steep.

Replaced my Bank 1 cam angle sensor last week, PArt was $160 from nissan and fitting was only 1x10mm bolt at the back of the head near the firewall. The hardest part was removing the harness connector (positive locking connector). Car is much better not. Fault code was 0340

Yesterday my car stalled while cruising at about 60km/h, luckily on a back street, and then threw this code at me aswell (0340).

I want to replace both cam angle sensors as there are no silver or white dots indicating a recall was done in japan.

Just want to check that the part numbers above are correct (Scotty seemed a little unsure) so I can order them from my friendly Nissan dealer...

That is a FUN moment when the car stalls at 60km/h...... lol requires a bit of focus to sort it quickly.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
