Car wont run (properly), sometimes starts, but then stops & wont restart

Engine just turns over. Consult says error 11 by memory, faulty camshaft angle sensor

So, I need to replace the CAS

Car is 1997 S1 Stagea, RB25det (so a series 2 R33 engine)....

Need to get a replacement tomorrow (Monday) but Im not home, and forget if its a plastic cover CAS or the metal version.

Can someone check their 1997 Stagea and tell me if its the plastic CAS, asap?

Thanks very much.

Nearly all S1 Stageas had the R33 S2 motor with metal Mitsubishi CAS. The very last of the series though had the Plastic covered Hitachi CAS. Maybe you can remember seeing the Mitsubishi logo on it?

I'm v.confused now, I'm hearing I need plastic version, but also reading I need metal version.

I don't remember because I just didn't take notice!

It's a Feb 1997 build, with Tomei cams if that makes a difference.

Which cas do I purchase? Ta.

Thanks mate, ill attempt to buy one tomorrow, but will let you know if I need to borrow for a week (if I need to order interstate).

Cheers for that offer, definitely appreciated!

Genuine part in Melbourne $438: http://www.ebay.com....=item2323a63303

Second hand one in Adelaide ($179): http://www.ebay.com....=item416e9db24c

Cheaper second hand one in NZ (I could get it for you if you want -about $100 posted): http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/nissan/electrics/auction-553161714.htm

my 8/97 had the black plastic CAS....so now we know the month they changed over :)

It was actually converted to the earlier style metal CAS when I put some 33 gtst cams in, the only change was swapping a wire in the plug

Replacement didn't work. Mucked around with that & original, no go.

Found a shorting wire between ecu & piggyback, think it was the cas trigger wire!

Was exposed slightly in two areas (from when I've shut close the plastic kick panel previously), & touching each other.

Bit of tape to fix the 2 exposed wire areas, bingo: no more consult code 11 cas error, car runs with original cas installed now.

Scared to drive anywhere tho, lol! See what happens tomorrow, fingers crossed its now ok.

Used all my spare coins to buy the replacement tho! Life of a student pensioner I guess ;)

New g/f was very understanding & helpful tho - she's a keeper!!!

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
