Dan @ ERD has replaced the guts of them but I really think you should leave it alone unless there is an issue with the existing one. Get it on the dyno and see what happens before you chase your tail replacing perfectly serviceable parts.

Presumably Automotive Service Solutions has the bits to repair them.

Asked elsewhere and yes I searched first .

If you want a fresh CAS can the sensors be replaced or do you have the replace the complete assembly . Mine is a 96 S2 GTS25T BTW .

Cheers A .

ive got a second hand one with a broken shaft, the rest could be used if you want it..

Pretty sure I read somewhere that mercury Motorsport had new diamond cut disks fitted to some customers cars to fix high speed noise.

Also someone wrote recently about opening them up and re-aligning the disk to the optical sensor?

Mine is noisy from idle upwards so also interested what's available

Does anyone have links to or part numbers for the sensors inside these Nissan RB CAS units ? The bearings look like late alternator ones so shouldn't be a prob .

I think Kudos sell new CAS units complete but at $1000 plus is very exy . If I can get to Nissan in Rockdale I'll get them to price one , I expect much the same thing .

My CAS is a Mitsubishi and its Nissan Pt no is 23731-02U11 which is the pre mid 97 R34 CAS type .

Cheers A .

Are they real Japanese ones or PRC ones ?

I have a link to an American 240SX site that goes inside KA24DE distributor/optical CAS units . I would be very surprised if there wasn't some internal sensor pickups that were common to SR or KA ignition systems of the same era .

Surely only the sensor and bearing are wearing parts and if we can find new ones it makes thousand dollar new assemblies unnecessary . .

I tried searching Tridon for ignition bits and found nothing .

I swear I'm not being a Smarta$$, but does it really matter?

genuine JECS/Mitsubushi/whatever internals I imagine is better, but for the price you cant really complain

I'm only looking for part numbers because armed with these you have a chance of finding them . Looks to be Nissan RSB-014

For the work involved in changing the pickup I wouldn't buy a no name POS if I could get a genuine or at least Japanese made replacement part .

A .

Yeah just the price of a whole unit from america is pretty good.

Changing the sensor would be alright, not sure if anyone has a number for the bearings, but I have a dead CAS here I wouldn't mind playing with. Gotta try and remember how to pull them apart but. there a bit of a pain in the way they are designed (The S1 sensors that is)

Ok , from digging around it seems that there were/are two optical sensors made by Mitsubishi and Hitachi . I think the Mitsy one is Pn J926 and the Hitachi RSB14 or RSB014 .

Taiwan Ignition System (TIS) is making replacements with their own number ie Mitsy J926 = TIS242 and Hitachi RSB14 = TIS 203 .

I'll try to talk to Rockdale Nissan to get prices on CAS units and the internal sensors at least for my Mitsubishi CAS if available .

Cheers A .

Fun stuff with a Mitsi CAS , thats the Mitsi J926 sensor BTW and in another link I'll post in a sec it looks like the Hitachis are a bit harder to rebuilt especially if you wanted to use an aftermarket sensor wheel .

These butchers need to learn about soft jaws for the vice and preferably use a hydraulic press .

This ones about changing the disc in a (I'll assume Hitachi CAS) which uses pressed on rings to hold the std disc in place .

Note the difference in the Hitachi RSB14 optical sensor .

Mine has the fluctuations getting worse with rpm but I noticed today when going from no throttle to half throttle quickly as I came out of some corners it jumped backwards 2 boxes of rpm in map tracer giving a big flat feeling before coming back to life.

Anyone else get similar things from what I presume is belt harmonics? Or just further evidence my sensor is crap?

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
