When I was removing my ignition timing unit the locating piece that connects to my camshaft had snapped off. Ive tried lining the timing unit up without the locating piece but now this damaging the timing unit. I need a camshaft for an 93' rb25det s1. I live in the Albury/Wodonga area and can't find one anywhere. People only want to sell me the whole head or an aftermarket camshaft. Where can I source a exhaust camshaft at the right price. Please help!!!

reflex

just went through a similar problem

due to my own stupidity I snapped the CAS keyway

my mechanic said he sourced a nissan camshaft for $400

so f*** that and bought myself a HKS one for a bit more

but before I did, I looked around at the wreckers here in WA and they were asking nowhere near that price. Dsturbd was offering me one for $150, pm him maybe he still has it.

and some wreckers were asking around $200 and one was asking for $380

Just make sure its the exhaust cam cause the inlet one doesnt have the keyway

and RB25 NEO have different camshaft alltogether

It is possible to set the CAS up without the key in the camshaft side - I've had the same problem for a year or so now.

If you look carefully into the recess where the key should be, you should be able to see where it has broken off. Just imagine that the key is still there, then imagine how the CAS mates, and assemble the CAS in place.

Yeah I've already done this for the passed month. What has happened though is the timing unit was mounted on a slight angle with spacers put in it. This slight angle has started to chew away at the teeth/cogs on the camshaft. Now the cogs has worn the timing unit slips and doesn't hold its position. I need another camshaft.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
