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

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!!!

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
