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!!!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
