hi -

Pulled off my CAS to diagnose a no start problem and discovered a half broken splined shaft in it. I tried spinning the CAS shaft by hand but it seems siezed hence why it broke the spline.

I had a look with the torch inside the exhaust cam where the CAS goes and noticed the other side of the broken spline shaft. I tried picking the broken piece with a pick tool but it wont budge.Not sure if it can.

Could someone pls explain if that splined shaft is part of the Camshaft? Cause it doesnt appear part of the CAS. how do i replace it ?

I hate to cough up on a new cam.

cheers

Looking into the exhaust camshaft. You can see the broken bit.

first pic is the birds eye view into the CAS. You can see the broken half moon bit inside.The broken spline shaft piece which came out of the CAS

..The biopsy. A lot of red dust from the seized bottom, bearing after finally turning it using the vise.

Looks like you've broken the spline off the cam. The CAS spline is supposed to be female with a half moon that matches up with the male spline and half moon on the cam

cheers. So that means a new camshaft?

ps: I've posted a Wanted ad in the Forsale section for anyone that has a R32 - RB20DE camshaft and CAS. pm me if anyone can help.

Or if anyone knows where i can pick it up in melbourne.

might be a good oportunity to swap out the motor for something better, if you cant do the labour yourself then you are up for a fair few $$$

I'll be doing the labor myself unfortunately. Otherwise yeah i would consider a swapout.

I have a pair of standard RB20DET cams, which are a slight upgrade over DE, and a CAS if you need.

as long as i dont have to pissfart around with the valve clearances and electronics, timings etc...

Because they both use Hydraulic lifters there is no adjustment for the valve clearances and because the spline/drive on the exhaust cam is the same the CAS are the same.

The DET cams run eight degrees more duration on the inlet and .5mm more lift on the inlet. The exhaust cam specs are the same as the DE.

you will have to pissfart around with camshaft timing and retension the timing belt-you are doing all this with the motor out?

I guess i was trying to say I need a drop in fit. Putting something non stock for the engine gets me concerned a little with having to mess with other stuff.

This is my friends car and she is on a limited budget. Trying to do it as good and inexpensive as possible.

fair enough, i see where you are at, remember when it comes to cars (especially skylines) "good" and "inexpensive" are mutually exclusive terms

You don't need the keyway in the cam I ran without for 3 years 400+hp no problem. They just need to be lined up in the right spot again

not sure I understand this. I believe im missing more than the keyway in the cam.

check my first two pics

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
