Hi guys,

New to the site. Imported a 2003 V35 Skyline 350GT Premium in silver, only took it through regency on Thursday and already having an issue. Engine warning light came on, as well as the 'slip light' and 'VDC off' light. Within 90 minutes I was at the auto electrician who identified a faulty Bank 2 camshaft position sensor so I am after a part to replace by Monday. Any help would be appreciated, as I am sure you are aware, I want to be driving this car, not just admiring it in the driveway :).

If anyone knows of someone wrecking a V35, 350Z or possibly even a Maxima with the VQ35DE engine, let me know. I want to grab the part today if possible (tomorrow at the latest) so I can fit it Sunday. I was quoted $145 new but can't get it till Tuesday. If anyone can confirm the issue I have described above as being the cam position sensor it would be appreciated. At this stage I am about as sure as I can be without pulling the existing unit off and checking with a multimeter.

In the brief 150km I have driven the car so far, it has been amazing, decent power, not too stiff, nice cruiser. Very happy with the purchase.

Thanks in advance

Blake

I may have a S/H spare here if you need one. Can you get the part number off it or a photo? Which side is bank two? I think its the passenger side but I'm not sure.

PM me if you need one anyway. :thumbsup:

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
