hey all..

i have been reading and searching.. both here and google..

now i have purchased tomei poncams for a s2 rb25det..

now i believe tomei classify the s2 poncams for the late 97model rb25 with the plastic cas..

so i have read u can mod the wires on the cas and fit the plastic cas on..

1- can the cas be modded to fit?

2- will the hks exhaust cam gear i got still fit on?

3- if i buy a inlet cam gear can i remove the vct (rb25 in a r32 running no vct from nisstune)?

cheers

ok well its not backwards for me atm...

im not running vct and it doesnt bother me..

so can i rewire the s3 cas? or should i sell the poncams and get s1 cams?

cant see it being an issue. I run R34 GTR's off R32 gtr ecus's....

Get two cam gears and spent some time on the dyno, you can get the cams to work well without vct as this dyno graph shows.

All the CAS does is tell the ECU where TDC is for each cylinder, and where each degree of crank rotation is. So, basically, a CAS is a CAS.

If you don't want to run VCT, simply leave the electrical connection off the VCT solenoid.

i dont care about not having the vct.. so im gonna get cam gear to repace it so i can fit my rb26 cam cover to finish of my rb26 rocker covers..

im happy with everything i have atm just wanna instal these cams with the r34 cas..

thanks status, i have a hks exh cam gear atm so ill hit up for a hks inlet to boot..
If you have bought RB25 Poncams for VCT than no you can not simply take the VCT off and put a cam gear on there. Why would you want to do that though, its a step backwards.

As I said above, you can not fit a normal cam gear to replace the VCT gear. The VCT gear and camshaft is special because it has a single bolt that goes into the centre of the camshaft. Cam gears have four small bolts that go into the camshaft, like on the exhaust side. So how are you expecting to fit it?

The main advantage a RB25 has over a RB26 is the VCT, so why would you not try and keep it if you can. If you allready have an ECU that doesn't support VCT just get an aftermarket controller to run it.

So really you only have a couple of options.

If you want to get rid of the VCT completely and fit an aftermarket cam gear, you need a different intake camshaft not made for VCT (RB20 or RB26).

If you are keeping that camshaft you either just leave it as it is without running the VCT or you get it running.

They are your options.

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
