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?

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
